Spotlight will index any cache files the Entourage daemon has created even
if the daemon is not launched, but no new cache files will be created until
the daemon is launched again. If the Microsoft Sync daemon never launches,
there's no way for Entourage to sync data with Sync Services.

For more details on the Microsoft Database daemon see:

Microsoft Database Daemon
<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/glossary/daemon.html>

The daemon is one of the most understood parts of Office for Mac. This
little hidden application can cause havoc with installs to. Not many users
understand "Quit all Office applications" to include the daemon.

It doesn't take long to scan over the page to be sure you know all about
this little application, but well worth your time in the havoc of not
knowing can cause.
