I wrote a response repeating that I know the problem is my own database, but cannot send it. For the 2nd time with E'rage on X, I could find no solution and finally gave in and tried the rebuild only to make it all unreadable. I, too, have no clue what to do in E'rage for repair. I never had these problems in 9, and am now afraid to trust E'rage. I am considering changing to Eudora for the very first time. Reason being, those messages can be located and read in an HTML editor or perhaps text editor (I forget). Right now I have taken most of my folders from E'rage and dragged them to the finder so I am replacing them into a new user folder. But I have not found a way to export and transfer my Categories and accounts so I have a long long road ahead of me. 10 hours and counting. And my Address book... Gone? Who knows? Now missed my Mac Design submission deadline thanks to this. :( If anyone on the team can come up with a comprehensive list of troubleshooting, it would be appreciated. I did not find what I needed when I needed it. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
