after upgrade to Leopard, virtually nothing in the windows for my Mail-Main Identity

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I upgraded yesterday to Leopard, going all the way to v10.5.1 after
using v10.4.11. I had my Entourage set to auto-check for new mail.
When I launched it, I got a notice via DragThing that I had 16 new
emails. When Entourage finished launching, I had a nearly empty
window. (I can still *send* email.) There are vertical scroll bars. If
I cilck in certain places of the window I can get some tiny icons to
show, but can't see the rest of the contents of my window, including
past folders, new email, etc.

I've looked on the Web and can't find others with this problem or a
fix.

I ran (from a separate hard drive) Apple Disk First Aid, Diskwarrior
(which found and fixed some problems which weren't there right before
I upgrade to Leopard), zapped the PRAM.

I'm *very* dependent on email. Any cause or cure for this glitch? I've
read that Office 2008 is due in mid-Jan., but I can't wait that
long. :-(

I researched possible problems with incompatibilities with various
apps, incl. Office, before upgrading, but hadn't expected *this*
glitch.

My MUD folder and its needed files seem to be in the right place, BTW.
I read a separate URL about "Where's My Data Gone?" but that doesn't
seem applicable to my problem. :-( http://www.barryw.net/weblog/files/lost_data.html.
Entourage doesn't seem to be opening with a new identity. It got my
new email, but I can't access it now. :-( (I completely cloned my hard
drive before upgrading to Leopard, but that doesn't give me emails
that are new and not in Gmail.)

Would a rebuild of the Entourage be likely to fix this problem?
