I've seen it happen once or twice during beta testing when I was using both
X and 2004. I suspect that what's happening is that the Office X daemon is
running, not the Office 2004 daemon. The X daemon may not be able to access
its database with Entourage 2004 open. In any case, that's not the one you
want. If you intend to keep both versions of Entourage around, you're going
to have to be careful how you use them. For now, quit Entourage, go to
System Preferences/Accounts/Startup Items, and remove ALL instances of the
Microsoft Database Daemon. Log Out (Apple menu), login. Open Entourage 2004.
That will "re-engage" the correct daemon. If ever you plan to open X
(why??), quit 2004, then run a simple AppleScript (which you can save as a
compiled Script and keep in the system Script menu, or save as an
application and keep anywhere):
tell application "Microsoft Database Daemon" to quit
before opening X. Then when you quit X, you MUST run the script again before
opening 2004.
Or just stop using X.

I tried rebuilding the database, but the Database Repair tool reset all folders and messages from the categories I had set them to None. So I went back to the old database, since a great deal of my folders and messages had categories. In some further testing, whenever I switch identities, the Office Notification daemon runs and shows the accurate count. Paul, this has not happened to you (the counter not displaying the number of notifications)?

Sorry. I don't know what this can be.
