I was able to get my old mail -- I could still access the "unrebuildable" DB, so I dragged each mailbox to the desktop, then used Paul's scripts to export everything I could. I rebuilt the DB and got almost everything back. I've actually been wondering the same thing, Diane -- whether or not my original import from E2001 to EvX might have been slightly corrupt, and that corruption might have been silently compounding itself, which might explain why the databases that have been restored from a backup ended up getting hosed as well? -- 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/>
