Entourage X says I don't have enough disk space to rebuild the database
which is not true. Now, the database is about 5 GB. Could this be causing
problems? If I can't recover it, how do I get at least my address book and
calendar back?

You need double the space and it should be continuous.

How did it get this big without a warning? Surely, you upgraded.

The latest Entourage X has a 4 GB limit on the Database file (there is no
Messages file), and you will be warned as you near the limit. As you finally
get close enough, it will force you to compact your database. You'd have to
work really hard to lose data with Entourage X.

Note: You must use the 10.1.2 updater from MacTopia to get that 4 GB size
plus warnings. The earliest release version of Entourage X did not have
those features. Regardless, it is advised that you should update to 10.1.2
(or latest) in any case.
