database corruption - CATCH 22

[G�ntherVansteelant]

Title: database corruption - CATCH 22

I’m in big trouble!
Some of the messages in an Entourage folder (naturally it’s a folder with important business related messages) have become corrupt. Most of these corrupt messages are just garbled text. These I can select and delete.
Some however, have attachments and when I select these, Entourage just completely freezes. Not even a forced quit is possible.
I tried an advanced rebuild (4 times) but this doesn’t help.

I don’t thing I can remove the messages with AppleScript, because I first noticed the problem when archiving with eMA. Everything locked up when eMA reached a certain message in the offending folder.

How do I solve this?

TIA
