Entourage X will not rebuild database

G

Greg Miller

My Entourage X on OSX suddenly started taking about 90 seconds to
bring up the fields where I can address emails. Everything else seems
to be working OK. I found out that the database limit for Entourage
is 4 gigs and my database is about that big.

So, to fix things, I tried a "Typical Rebuild". After a long wait, it
fails with a message claiming I do not have enough room to rebuild the
database. I have 17 gigs available, so this is not the problem.
Doing an "Advance Rebuild" works fine. However, after an Advance
Rebuild, it requires me to do a Typical Rebuild to get Entourage open
again. This time, the Typical Rebuild will work. However, once I am
back in Entourage, most of my email is gone. At this point, I go back
to the old database. I have gone through my email and eliminated at
least 1/2 of the old email messages in my various folders. But the
process is always the same when I go back to Rebuild.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
