Entourage very slow to quit

[stu128]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

After quitting Entourage, the app stays active for nearly a minute before closing down.

I've checked for schedules etc that run at quit, but there are none.

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

it could be a number of things:
- corrupted database
- intensive Excahnge lookup (eg: with a huge inbox - you should move
messages to other folders in the Exchange account)
- numerous e-mails liked through a project,

Thanks for the rapid response. Still no resolution after the step below:

- database verifies OK, but weighed in at 850MB, compacting reduced to 250MB, but no change to quit time

- Inbox has 150 entries -> not sure what constitutes 'huge'

- I don't use projects, so assume this doesn't apply

Update - possibly fixed.

After shutting down to test, an IMAP account error popped up. Deleting the account seems to have solved it so far.

Well I hope that was it :-\

This is tiny. Want to see how your database compares in size?
