Compacting is not advised unless you are really low on disk space and/or removed several GB of data. Entourage will use the 'wasted space' and your database will remain the same size as new emails are added. If you have a folder named something like this: Main [Backed up 1-20-2010 13.35] You might want to revert to your original Identity BEFORE it was compacted. You would need to add the newer messages from your current Identity. > there is a Database (Rebuild) file in > there as well which is 2.4gig?? Normally, when you see this file it indicates the rebuild was not successful. Usually that file is removed and the [Backed up 1-20-2010 13.35] folder is created. You might try reverting to the Database (Rebuild) by creating a new Identity folder and moving this file into the folder. Remove (Rebuild) from the name.
