I have posted several items about this problem client, but the short is he
has a 3.8GB DB in Entourage v. X I deleted about 4000 emails, leaving him
only with the last 3 months worth of email in his inbox. I then tried a
rebuild on the database and it never completes - returns the same error as
the attempts before deleting the 4000 emails:
The database could not be rebuilt because there is not enough room on the
disk to create the new database files.
And there is plenty of room on the hard disk.
So I exported (drag and drop all his folders to .mbox files), created him a
new Identity and imported all the .mbox files and everything worked great,
except the inbox.mbox. Even though there are 3 months worth of emails in the
old identity for the export, only a handful of emails (20 or so) make it into
the new Identity. It seems to be a problem with the drag and drop, creating
the inbox.mbox (for it consistently is only 18.1MB).
For now he is switching back and forth between Identities to access his old
email, but does anyone have any tips on how to actually export the entire (3
months) inbox to the new Identity?
