Marc,
Thanks for your response. You were right. The Mail Folder was read
only, which was confusing because new emails were still being filed
into the Mail Database in that Mail Folder, but Emailer could not
rebuild the Database and Index. Once I fixed that, Rebuild worked.
I'm still working on the other problem.
I think it is great that there are at least two of us in Belgium
using Emailer and on the Emailer list. My wife would like us to move
to a mail program that can do HTML, so I've promised to try. Any
thoughts about using Apple Mail?
Thanks again, Andy

Andrew,
Chapter-I:
As far as error 5000 is concerned: it means "Access Denied".
- are you running the rebuild on a version of your mail database
that is
on CD or within a DISKCOPY image that is readonly ?
- check the emailer files with Apple-I (Get INFO), and check if
you are
the owner or have all rights, as well as rights to create new files.
- check if you have sufficient disk space left : the rebuild needs
twice
the size of you emailer mail folder and who knows.. some spare space.
- I know of very few (none ..) occasions where an advanced rebuild
doesnt
work. It usually works to my knowledge
Chapter II:
Your TiBook hanging on 10.4
My impression is that not so much your emailer is hanging; but
instead..
your Classic box is hanging alltogether.
Try (with a duplicate copy of your Mac OS 9 system folder) to run
without
any non Apple extensions and with empty prefs folder.
Then try running emailer. It should run smooth.
Next you can find out which are the OS9 extensions or prefs that cause
the hang.
Also, make sure you have one of the most recent emailers 2.0v3
If emailer crash-quits but is not hanging, then clean out the folder
called "Temp Incoming"; there will be some messages in there that you
should set aside.

I've run into a couple of issues with Emailer and hope you can help.
First, I'm trying to run Emailchemy to convert my Emailer v.2.03 mail
database to a standard format. Emailchemy won't complete the
conversion, but hangs at about 75 percent of the messages. I've
tried
to rebuild my Emailer database by pressing the Option key on startup,
then clicked both simple and advanced rebuild choices, and get the
following message: "Could not successfully startup or quit because an
unknown error (-5000) occurred."
Second, I just upgraded my Ti G4 DVI Powerbook from 10.3.9 to 10.4.8,
as well as upgrading to iLife06. Emailer is running but hangs much
more frequently (several times a day) than ever before. When it
hangs,
I have to hard restart the computer. Sometimes iPhoto has been open
and I've wondered if Emailer hangs because of a conflict with iPhoto,
but haven't consistently reproduced the computer crash.
Thanks for any suggestions and advice, Andy
