Steve I'm sure I'll be but the first to tell you this.
Once you have removed the attachments, the size of your mail file will not reduce until you rebuild it. To do so you need to quit all Office applications (eg Word, Excel) including Entourage. Then restart Entourage - once you have double clicked or clicked on it in the dock immediately hold down the option key. The database manager (or whatever it is called) will appear and offer you the option of rebuilding the database. One tip for the beginner - make sure you have emptied your deleted items folder in Entourage before the rebuild.
