Here are some tips to reduce the size of your database in Entourage.
Set Erage to delete attachments in an outgoing Rule.
Attachment exists
then
Remove Attachments
Use Paul B.'s script Save/Expand Attachments to remove attachments from
incoming messages. It keeps a record of where the attachment is stored.

Archive your email. Did you know you can drag a folder from Entourage to the
desktop and it makes an mbox formatted file? To view just drag it back to
Entourage or make a new identity for your archived mail. Just drag the mbox
file to the folder window in the new identity. To search, just switch
identities.
For other options to archive, check the archive section on MERP.

Now for good measure, check the size of your IE Download cache:
Preferences->Explorer-Download Cache
Betcha didn't know this was there and if you used IE to download 9.1 then
it's probably huge.
To change pref:
Edit->pref->download option-> Remember the last x completed downloads.
OR..... you can use this script (written by Bob Stern)
This script that will move IE's Download Cache file to the Trash. Simply
put it in your Startup Items or Shutdown Items folder. (I think it is
safest to not empty the trash automatically.)
Drag it onto the Script Editor if you want to inspect or modify it. It is
very simple:
tell application "Finder"
tell file "Explorer:Download Cache" in preferences folder
if it exists then delete it
end tell
end tell
Can you tell I'm bored? I'm downloading on my pitifully slow modem and it's
taking forever. Can't wait for cable.
