Go to my external where I have a crisp clean, 1 month old actual drag and drop full copy of my database>import that>Entourage again wants a rebuild>did that> crashes again
Take my MacMini out of the box, which had been essentially unused>load on my brand new copy of Office 2008>Bring in the most recent precrash database>Upgrading identity and messages>works fine for a day?crashes and wants a rebuild. Note this is on a totally separate computer so there is obviously an issue of a message somewhere corrupting the databases regardless of computer.
Tried doing an export, this fails due to one or more corrupted messages.
Tried dragging individual folders onto the desktop to form mailbox folders, but those are clearly incomplete.
The database is large (7g or so), and contains important information.
Now I'm at a loss. I can get to the messages on my laptop, and turned off office notifications for now (living on borrowed time), and have multiple back up copies so it's not yet a "disaster" but it's getting there.
No clue what to do next. Are there any third party database repair tools that might work better than the built in one?
Regards
Steve
