Have you restarted after updating?

Did you delete font caches and the duplicate fonts installed by Snow Leopard
that have newer versions?

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.

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.

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.
