I do suggest that you verify the new 08 Identity. Even though it imported, some imported Identities can contain problems. Under File --> Export, select "items to an Entourage archive" --> all items. If there is corruption this will fail. If it completes, this indicates your database is good. However there is other data in the database other then your items that might not show problems right away. Using the .rge file you can create a new Identity that would be squeaky clean. > > I miss the familiarity of Entourage 2004, but I suppose I'll become acc > accustomed to Entourage 2008 soon enough. See this image for some of the new features in 08. Also in Address Book there is a first name, last name column. You can get rid of the "name" column now. <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/2008/main_window.html> > > I do find the behavior of the Junk mail a bit odd and risky.

I use the Nuke messages script to immediately nuke junk bypassing asking me what I want to do. There is also a soft delete junk mail script that sounds like what you want.
