Yes, I confirm. It's those flagged messages that do it. (They're now considered a type of "to-do", by the way.) I can flag a message OK, no problem, UNTIL I switch to the Calendar for the first time. (And it makes no difference whether I display to-dos in the calendar or not.) It takes forever to get to the calendar, and after that, flagging or unflagging a message also takes forever. The only "workaround" ids to quite and relaunch Entourage and never go back to the Calendar. But it's the flagged messages that do it. At one point I had about 2000, and would get stuck for 5-6 minutes. I unflagged most of them, but I still have a couple hundred, They now slow me down to about 30 seconds switching to calendar and then flagging messages.
