I'm on a partitioned HD and I'm running out of space. Is there a way to change the location of the identities folder so that Entourage doesn't create any more memory related issues? I'm running 4 Gigs of ram, but I'm short of HD space on this partition.

I would try moving the Identities folder to another partition and putting an
alias to it in your normal Microsoft User Data folder. Make sure that the
alias has exactly the same name as the identities folder itself.

Hope this helps.

An alias or a symlink should work. I tend to favor the symlinks though
since it's often more transparent to applications.
