I'm having almost the same problem. Everytime Entourage
checks my mail, the application quits. (I'm on cable
modem. I had no problem with Entourage 2001, Entourage X
is not working right. I do get some mail through, and
some out, but mostly application quits when it check to
see if I've gotten any additional email)

anyone have any ideas

Try these troubleshooting tips and let us know what you find:

Try to find where problem is located.



First, create a new identity to eliminate corruption in current identity:



Entourage X: Entourage menu>Switch Identity>Select New



If the problems go away, then your old identity is corrupt. You can try a
rebuild on your old identity.



If the problem existed in a new identity then create a new User. This will
eliminate corruption or conflicts in your User Folder:



In System Preferences: Users: Create a new user. Log Out/In to new user.
Open Entourage and see if the problems go away. (You might need to recreate
your account info.) If problems disappear then you know it's a conflict or
corruption in your user folder.



Other suggestions:

Run Repair Permissions after any software update from Apple and for other
software updates. To use. open Disk Utility in your ~/Applications/Utility
folder. Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair Permissions. Don't run
from CD as updates have a newer version of Repair Permissions.

If you shut
down your computer overnight, you need to run the cron jobs that Apple has
set to run at 3AM.

Try opening the Progress window (in the Tools menu) and leaving it open.
That fixed crashes on send and receive for a friend of mine.
