I started having VERY strange symptoms a couple of days ago, but database
integrity says everything is fine.
These are the symptoms:

1. I started having trouble connecting to Macromedia Newsgroups. Items would
show as unread, but would not display in the list window pane. Unchecking
hide read did not change things. I would connect to the newsgroup but
nothing would download. This happened several times on different forums
within the group. Then later the newsgroups functioned again as normal.

2. I tried to print a plain text email, but all I got was a spinning
beachball and had to force quit. I tried to view the Source of the
offending email, but it also created the spin. I force quit and restarted
and the next download of mail seemed to lose its place and redownloaded all
of todays messages as if they had not been read or downloaded. I pressed
print one copy of the message selected in the list view, and it printed a
blank sheet of paper. Other messages seem to print just fine.

It appears as if Entourage is losing track of time or its mail log. OSX
10.3.8, G5 Dual 2.5

Normally, when I had a bad email from somewhere, just clicking on the email
would cause a crash. I have never had a plain text letter do that.

No I haven't. I was thinking that was next step. I compacted database to see
if that clears it up. What do you lose when you delete prefs?

I don't know. I remember losing newsgroup subscriptions, but I think that
was it. Please, if you delete prefs and realize that doing it cost you a
priceless kugel recipe from your grandmother, don't hate me.

Instead of deleting them, quit, drag them to the desktop, and relaunch. You
can always trash the newly created prefs and move back the original prefs
file, if it didn't help or something was lost.
