Read this article ( applies to all versions of Entourage not just Entourage X): Rebuilding a damaged database that exceeded size limit <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/2007/09/rebuilding_a_damaged_database_that_e xceeded_size_limit.html> I've had good success in recovery for Entourage databases. When I hit a wall with corruption, I backup and try a different approach. Eventually I get it all. I would say it takes an average of 8 hrs to recover and verify a database. You might have seen a stress test I mentioned just recently. I do this for each database I recover. 1. Use the Entourage Database Utility to verify 2. On a copy, I run rebuild on the Identity to verify 3. Test by exporting all items as Entourage archive (.rge) file and import that file into a new Identity. 4. Use the MBOX script to export all folders. If a database passes all these tests I know it's good. -- Diane YouTalk mailing list List address: [email protected] List information: http://entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected]
