[I apologize if this is a repeat - I did not receive a post back from the
list and assume it might not have gone through (no reject either).  While
looking for replies I noted 23 counted but invisible messages in my
Entourage folder.  A few tries with Refresh and Repair and the count went
away. I might just have to do an Advanced Rebuild.]

Greetings,

I'm using Ent-08 now and generally satisfied. I have one problem, however
with an IMAP account.  Somewhere along the way in late 2007 with Ent-04
there was some sort of corruption.  I ended up with about thousand old
messages in my deleted and junk folders after a typical rebuild.  I did
another normal compress and rebuild and they stayed there.  I was careful to
not delete them until I could check to see if they resided elsewhere in the
database so they just sat for a couple of months.

Last week I decided to wrestle with this issue. I could not move or copy the
messages to any of the other IMAP folders for this account (in Ent'08).
This database was processed from Ent'04 to Ent'08 and I did a typical
rebuild on Ent'08.  Still couldn't move the messages. I ended up copying
these IMAP messages to the locally resident "on my computer" in-Box.  The
messages copied fine. So somehow they were "real" to Entourage.  But they
would not subsequently delete from the IMAP junk and Deleted items folders.
No purge, no delete if older than xx on close, no refresh message, no repair
messages, no movement at all!  Other messages could be put in these two
folders (Deleted and Junk) and then deleted just fine but these messages are
stuck.  

There is no Empty Cache folder menu item in Ent'08 - this has helped me in
the past - empty cache and then repair message list.  Repair message list
does nothing nor does Refresh messages - the screen pops up real fast and
does show the 216 messages in the Junk folder.  Somewhere along the way the
deleted messages folder emptied - it was not while I was watching.

I do not want to do an Advanced Rebuild since all of my rules and message
relationships will go away.  I tried opening my IMAP account in Apple's Mail
and guess what - the stuck messages aren't there! That implies they are
"unique" to the Entourage database.

What next?

Dean
