Rebuilding Entourage X--Help!

I use an old version of Entourage X to receive my mail. It gave me a
message today that says it's full and i need to rebuild. I rebuilt the
database as requested and i get an error message that there is not
enough space to store the data. Looking at my "get info" I have ample
space available. I am in the process of removing some files just in
case, but wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions. i can not get
back into these files, and of course have some very important info in
there!

Help! Thanks

Make sure you have enough hard disk space available for twice that amount.
As part of the rebuilding process, Entourage creates a second database file.
