A couple of generic "fixes" that may help, may not: 1. Run "fsck" (File System ChecK). Restart holding Cmd-S, in "single user mode". You'll see a screenful of text, ending with a message telling you how to run fsck. Run repeatedly until you get no errors.
2. You said you ran Disk First Aid. I HOPE you mean you ran Disk Utility, which is the OS X equivalent, which you should run off the installation CD. The OS 9 Disk First Aid might not fix a disk properly for OS X. 3. Try running the utility Apple recently released, for free, called "Repair Privileges". You find it on their download page at www.apple.com.

Set up a schedule to run your "Send & Receive All" and set the schedule on a timed basis rather than repeating every so often. It can be set to run only on certain days at certain times. Uncheck "only if connected" and check "return to previous state". In the entourage menu, select "Work Offline" to keep it from dialing in when you click on a link by accident or read an HTML message with on line images, etc. > I would also like to import my mail and address book from Apple's Mail > program to Entourage. > All suggestions appreciated > Regards > D�nes -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
