I have applied the 11.3.5 updater -- Word and Excel tell me 11.3.5, so that must have been the update that left Entourage's version number unchanged? :) 11.5 has only been out a couple months. > Do you have a clone of your hd that you could > go back to for a database? Not that doesn't have the rebuilt database in it. The rebuild was three or so weeks ago. My original question is really only about finding out which script is best to use to remove the duplicates in my current database. >> I have folders, subfolders, and sub-subfolders.

I already use Categories to visually differentiate mail -- I've assigned each one to a different client so that I can tell by color who is writing me (for example, six different project editors at the same publisher, each has a different Category so that her email shows up a different color in the client's folder -- and the client folder is a subfolder of the main client folder, which is a subfolder of Folders on my Computer). > 1.

Couldn't I simply back up this identity, then delete everything in it, and then import the backup? Or will that not give me a carbon copy of what I've got now? Why would I need to go the .rge route, I guess is my question? I really only was looking for people's opinions on which script they would use to delete the duplicates that magically reappeared. Look where this has gone -- I never knew I had such problems.
