Need tips on compacting Entourage so it won't run so damn slow

Entourage used to be a great project mgmt tool for me. I keep all my
contact info there and everything is color-coded etc. My signatures
are great with formatting and graphics.

But I recently had to get a new OS for my Mac and subsequently needed
to reload MS Office 2004 and try to rebuild all my intricate stuff.

I followed the directions on saving and rebuilding the dbase and I
manually copied a lot of mail, contacts, Notes and rules into a backup
hard drive.

But one of the problems I always had was that I had accumulated more
than 50,000 email messages and never archived them.

When I re-launched Entourage, I was hoping to have a clean slate, with
all that data accessible but not on my main drive clogging up the
works.

I use Entourage as a client email browser for a POP server, AT&T
Yahoo. When I hit send&receive, Entourage insisted on reloading all
the 50,000 plus messages that were on the server.

There was nothing I knew of to do to prevent this, and now every time
I attempt a simple task, such as "Category is" or just toggling back
and forth between Inbox and Sent Mail, it takes forever.

Any suggestions or rules I can create to streamline Entourage?
