I�m still curious, concerning my original post, if it�s actually the case that this has never happened before? I feel 'honored' if that's the case. I know of situations where mail "disappears" but then compacting the database would usually clear it up. I can remember some issues with Outlook Express a couple years ago that I dealt with, but nothing quite like this. Entourage is working fine, but there's this big hole in the thing: mail stops sometime on the 3rd, then continues again on the evening of the 15th when I restarted it, after normal shut down to move to the house. I wonder, is the mail really there in the original database after doing the normal/advanced clean up? Perhaps I should contact Microsoft Support and see if they have any experience with this situation. I'm mostly just curious.
