I hate to correct this point, but Emailer *does* have a Database Rebuild feature that is exactly like Entourage's (Though I'm sure jud has improved the rebuild routines since he first helped create Emailer).

I agree with Paul on this one. Try opening the exported text file in Excel and see if any of the fields have odd characters or missing data > If there are corrupt messages, that could happen. next time, first turn OFF > the Preview Pane (View menu, or command-\).

If you don't have too much invested in Entourage yet, you might just toss out your MUD folder and start from scratch. Try with a fresh identity with no imported data to see how stable EvX is for you and continue using Emailer to reference you old mail. Not ideal, but it'll help you eliminate E'rage as the cause of your problems. -Remo Del Bello -- Cyber bumper sticker: Help stamp out and eradicate superfluous redundancy. -- 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/>
