just a quick questions as my newly created entourage account is
importing 4000+ emails from gmail.... where are those emails stored?
on my computer? and will this crash my computer? or slow it down?

thanks! only 1400 emails left to go.

All messages in Entourage are stored in:

~/Documents/Microsoft User Data

where " ~ " is your home folder.

Will this crash your computer? That depends on how much hard drive space
you have available.

I'm going to guess you have left all your messages in your Inbox. You
should consider making folders within your Gmail account in Entourage
and file these away. Your Inbox is synchronized more frequently than
mail folders. Keeping your Inbox as clean as possible will improve
performance.

More about Entourage and Gmail:

Have a look at these blog posts for connecting Entourage to Gmail.

Hope this helps!
