Title: Severe crashing (was Ways to speed up Entourage X GUI?)
I'm experiencing my first real Entourage mess. After reading the responses
to my slower and slower E'rage X GUI, I decided to archive some of my 9,000
email addresses. I went to www.applescriptcentral.com, did a search for
'archive', and found Barry Wainwright's Export Folders script. In reading
his text explanatory file, I realized that I could archive E'rage X folders
by simply dragging them to the desktop. Since my Sent folder was the one
that was taking 10 seconds to draw itself, I dragged that one to the
desktop. Entourage crashed. I repeated this a 4 times, tried restarting,
doing a advanced rebuild, and still crashing. I tried running Barry's
script, and still crashing.
I've had Entourage since it first came out, but I'm only 3 weeks since
switching to OS X, so I don't know yet what files/ prefs to delete in doing Office/Entourage repairs like this.
By the way, I decided to see if it was all my existing data base that were causing problems. So I switched identities, created a Test Identity, and wow, what a difference. Just like the old zippy OS 9 version. So I'm convinced that I've got some major corruption in my current Identity.
My question: what would you all suggest for fixing this? I used to have my diagnostics down in 9, but again, I'm so new that I haven't a clue right now how to get Entourage unbugged.
( I'm on Jaguar 10.2.3, with Entourage 10.1.1 Service Release 1,
on a 933 Mhz, with 1 Gig Ram. My Office X Identities folder weighs in at 630
Megs (my total MUD is 1.1 Gigs) ; I have about 9,000 messages total)
