Open 'Activity Monitor' and quit the database daemon (see here for details: <http://homepage.mac.com/barryw/weblog/files/category-2.html#unique-entry-id -9> 3. duplicate the identity folder in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X Identities/[your identity name] as many times as you have mail accounts, giving the duplicates a sensible name 4. Start entourage 5. create a custom view Type: Messages; Location: All Folders; Criteria: Mail account is not [name of a mail account] 6. when the custom view has finished findin all messages, select all and delete. 7. choose 'switch identity' from the Entourage menu, and select a duplicate identity. 8. repeat steps 5, 6 & 7 for each mail account, until you have all the identities you wanted, each holding messages for just one mail account 9. restart entourage, holding down the option key until you see the rebuild screen. Choose the first option to compact a database. Repeat this action for each identity you created. 10. You're done :) you can now delete rules, contacts etc that don't apply to each of the identities. -- Barry Wainwright Microsoft MVP (see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com for details) Check out the Entourage User's WebLog for hints, tips and troubleshooting <http://homepage.mac.com/barryw/weblog/weblog.html> -- 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/>
