Two ways to reduce. 1) Rebuilding does not reduce but if you select Compress in Disk Utility that will reduce. 2) Export all items as .rge then import the .rge into a new Identity and there is no extra clutter or wasted space. BTW, if you compare the size of the .rge to the database files the difference is what's called wasted space. Wasted Space: Like many file systems & databases, deleting a message in Entourage only deletes the index entry, and the actual disk space occupied by the message is left intact as a 'hole' in the database, and will remain like that until the space is re-used by fresh incoming content. -- Diane -- YouTalk mailing list List information: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
