You can save attachments if you open the e-mails and click on save in the
attachments part, then you can save attachments anywhere you like on your
Mac.
Then you can remove the attachments individually by clicking remove in the
e-mail attachment section.
There is a Remove Attachments Script available on this page:
http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq_topic/attachments.html
This is the direct link to the script:

Here are more scripts, including one to save attachments:

You can also create a rule that saves attachments, in Entourage go to Tools,
Rules, create a new rule and in the actions you find save attachments and
delete attachments. After creating a rule you can select all e-mails in a
folder and run the rule by holding down control and click on the e-mails and
choose Apply Rule and choose the rule you just created. You would have to
create a rule to save attachments and a rule to delete the attachments.
When you are done removing the attachments you need to compact or rebuild
the database to get it smaller because the database doesn't get smaller by
deleting the attachments, it keeps the original size and waits for new
e-mail to fill up the empty spaces.
Before you do a rebuild back up your Entourage Identity folder, just make a
copy of the file to the desktop, just in case anything goes wrong, sometimes
a database gets lost during a rebuild.On this page you can read how to
rebuild the database:

When you want to transfer over to Apple mail, you can import in Apple Mail
from Entourage, go to file - import in Apple Mail.
Addresses and calendar items can be done with Sync Services, in Entourage go
to Entourage in the menu and click preferences, you can turn on sync
services in the sync services section of the Preferences.
