Compact is something you should do when you want to get rid of unused space in your database. It should leave your database with the exact same dataset that you started with. Rebuild is to be used when there is something wrong with the structure of your database. It is a lossy action. It will fluch all of your IMAP caches, it will not retain the links that have been defined, it will possbily not be able to preserve all of your data and it might ressurrect data that was previously deleted. More than likely a rebuilt database will be smaller than a compacted one but it goes about doing things in a much different manner. I would never rebuild a production database unless I was sure it was damaged. I rebuild test databases all the time though. :) -- 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/>
