Entourage for X crash->45 days of e-mail gone!!!

Title: Entourage for X crash->45 days of e-mail gone!!!

I know, I know, I should have a backup. I thought I DID. I’ve been copying my “main identity” folder to another Mac, but not using it. Today I launched Entourage and the shiny ball kept spinning forever. So, I did a force quit, then a typical rebuild. The rebuild went through about 14,000 of my 16,000 plus mail items, then a dialog popped up saying that my database COULDN’T be rebuilt. I tried an advanced rebuild, which was successful, but now all my e-mail since 12/9/01 is missing!!

There are files named old database and old database cache. Is there ANY hope of recovering the missing mail?

Thanks for input from ANYBODY.
