Database Corruption

[illuminator]

Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: Exchange I have a colleague with a .db of around 16Gb. No matter how many times I rebuild the database it still says it is corrupt after a short while.
I have deleted the notifications plist file as I have heard that Entourage can give false information about the database when it is actually fine. Ran the utility again to verify and it says it has detected some corruption.
I think it is email she has received that is causing this, but how do i identify where it is?
I use EagleFiler to archive email so i wonder if I archive chunks of email if eaglefiler will error at a corrupt file? Anyone had any experience of this please?

Exchange I have a colleague with a .db of around 16Gb. No matter how many
times I rebuild the database it still says it is corrupt after a short while.

For Exchange accounts, it¹s best to just create a new Identity rather than
rebuild.

When you rebuild, it does not get rid of the extra space. You would have to
run Compress in the Database Utility.

Rebuilding does not always fix corruption.

I don¹t believe the export as MBOX file script runs on Exchange accounts,
but the script fails on a folder with corruption. Not sure how EagleFiler
imports, but I suspect that it would give some notice if the message was
corrupt. Have you contacted the author, Michael Tsai?
