Caution
To verify the disk integrity, you can run Apple Disk Utility, a diagnostics and repair
application that is available in /Application/Utilities/. Apple Disk Utility functions also may
be accessed from the Mac OS X command line by using the diskutil and hdiutil
commands. For more information about identifying and repairing hard disk problems, see
your Mac OS X documentation for the Apple Disk Utility application.
Rebuild the Entourage database
1. Quit all Office applications, including Entourage and Office Reminders.
2. Do one of the following:
• In the Microsoft Office 2008/Office folder, double-click the Database Utility
application.
• Hold down the OPTION key and open Entourage.
3. Click the identity of the database that you want to rebuild.
4. In the
Database Utility dialog box, click Rebuild database, and then click Continue.
5. Follow the instructions in the dialog box.
If the computer does not have enough free disk space to store both the current
database and the copy of the database, an out-of-memory error occurs.
Compacting and backing up the Entourage database
You can use the Microsoft Database Utility that is stored in Microsoft Office 2008/Office/ to
compact and back up the Microsoft Entourage 2008 for Mac database.
Important
If an Microsoft Exchange account is used from both Entourage and Outlook, compacting
or rebuilding the Entourage database could cause duplication of the user's messages. To
avoid duplicating a user's messages, delete the Microsoft Exchange account in
Entourage before you compact or rebuild the Entourage database. Then re-create the
Microsoft Exchange account in Entourage after compacting or rebuilding of the
database is complete.
