Hey all,
First off, thanks to everyone for the informative listserv replies. I hope that my question will be addressed with the same attention and thoroughness!
I've been a Eudora user for about six or seven years, starting with Windows 95 (yuck!) on up through Mac OS X 10.3.4. I recently bought Microsoft Office 2004 and have become intrigued by Entourage 2004. The all-in-one aspect of the application is very appealing to me as my schedule becomes increasingly packed. I also use a Palm Vx so the ability to sync my handheld with a desktop database other than Palm Desktop 4.1 would be a welcome change.
Like any respectable nerd, I googled around to learn about issues of possible database corrution. I would absolutely dread the loss of any amount of my 5 years of accumulated e-mail. I guess my question really has two parts:
1. What is the likelihood of database corruption assuming a message count of 15k, a contact list of 300 people and a highly-used calendar?
2. Are there steps that can be taken to completely avoid database corruption? Assuming my hard disk doesn't die, will regular database rebuilds reduce the likelihood of losing and/or corrupting data?
For the record, please assume bi-weekly backups but having to revert to something even three days old would be difficult with changes in calendar and e-mail flow.
Thanks in advance for all replies!
-Mark
