You definitely do not lose categories when rebuilding.
In any case, the rebuild renames the existing database, or really your
identity (in E2004, anyway), with an OLD or date suffix, and then copies the
data, rebuilding as it goes, into a new database.
If the new database is somehow worse than the old (you can lose some links
between objects, for instance, which might be crucial to you), you can
always revert to the old copy by quitting Entourage, renaming the files,
and relaunching. (Oh, be sure you quit the database daemon also; easiest way
is to type this into Script Editor and run it:
tell application "Microsoft database daemon" to quit
Or, you can find the "Database Daemon" process in Activity Viewer, and use
that to quit it.
