I had this problem in Entourage X (the quote is from a two-year old thread). I just (a little over three weeks ago) uninstalled Entourage X and installed Entourage 2004, and I still have the problem, (first occurrence a couple of days ago). I'm declining your invitation to uninstall and reinstall Entourage 2004.
