How to rebuild database:

As with any procedure like rebuild, itıs a good idea to make a backup prior
to running. Your data should not be erased, but if something fails during
this process data could be lost. To be doubly sure, duplicate your Identity
folder prior to the rebuild.

Make sure you have enough hard disk space available for twice the size of
your database. As part of the rebuilding process, Entourage creates a second
database file. (Note: your HD also needs breathing room to function)

1. On the Entourage menu, click Turn Off Office Reminders.
2. Quit Messenger and all Microsoft Office applications, including
Entourage.

Hold down the Option key and re-launch the application. In a few seconds,
youıll be greeted with the database utility. You can verify and, if
necessary, rebuild the Entourage database by using the Microsoft Database
Utility.

During the rebuild process, the old files are renamed in case for some
reason the rebuild was not successful. After youıve rebuilt your database
and checked the applicationıs performance, you can delete the old version
from your hard drive. Do NOT throw away these files unless you are satisfied
with the rebuild:

Old files are named:

Main [Backed up date and time will be shown]
e.g. Main [Backed up 1.21.2007 13.35]

Thanks Diane,
I'm using the Entourage that comes with the Office v.x not Office
2004. Anyway I have set up so automatically downloads the emails from
the server so the server is empty. The emails keep coming but I can't
access the Inbox folder or any other folder. As soon as I click on any
of them the application crashes. Is there anyway I can get to the
downloaded emails in my computer so I can check for corrupted emails?
Thanks so much,
Javier

When you say server, is this an exchange account or do you mean your ISP
server? Is this a POP or IMAP account?

To access these corrupt message, use your web account to access your email.

You don't mention which Inbox.

It really helps to know all of your specifics when you ask for help. You
don't mention what version of the OS your are using. Is that updated?

First Entourage X is "end of life" software. When the unique change for
Daylight Saving Time occurred this year, it required updates to

The Mac OS
Your software
Your server software (for exchange accounts)

In addition to the Mac OS X updates listed above, the Java environment
requires an additional update for compatibility with the time zone and DST
changes described above.

There was an unofficial workaround for Entourage X.
