Rebuild seems to stop

E

When I open a coworkers Entourage, it gives a message saying the database
has reached 4 GB, and needs to be rebuilt. I start typical rebuild, and it
gets almost half way through the database, and then gets hung up. The bar
still appears to be active, and the spinning wheel doesn't show up, but it
just sits there.

Entourage won't show me email unless I do the rebuild, but the rebuild
doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions?

I am using Entourage X, not 2004.

And if you do an advanced rebuild...? m.

Do you have an extra 4 GB of available space on the hard disk? The rebuild
creates a duplicate and saves the original, so be sure you have enough room
to do the rebuild. You obviously want enough space as to not leave the
computer with no space when done. I suggest at a minimum, to rebuild a 4 GB
database, that at least 5 to 6 GB of extra space is available at the start.
