Have you tried rebuilding the database?
Also, if you are copying the folder from one machine to another, wouldn't
that goof up permissions?

Thanks for the detailed response. I considered all that you said.
Here's what I have:
No, no schedules set to run at startup - unless you mean Calendar
events. Not the Project Calendar, the regular calendar. I do use it to
leave reminders to myself. Not extensive, maybe 3 days in a week have
some kind of notice in them.
Type of accounts are POP and IMAP (one my local provider, the other is
a .Mac account - which I think is IMAP?)
This is Office 2004 (for Mac)
I took your suggestion and opened Activity Monitor. It showed 2.77 GB
free. Then I opened Entourage and it only dropped to 2.72 GB free.
I have tried shut down and restart. No difference.
I switched to Apple Mail and have been using that for the past several
days to compare. No problem in Mail.
I literally dumped all my mail out of all my folders (saving them as
mbox archives on an external drive.
The only other thing I can think of is to go to my User>Docs>Microsoft
User Data folder and drag the entire Office 2004 Identities folder out
and replace it with a previous one I had copied to my laptop. (I have
found that an easy way to sync stuff when going on the road).
Frustrated...

I've used Entourage as my default email client for years. Lately, I am
experiencing a delay at start up.
I tried emptying out all my mailboxes (saved them to a hard drive and
deleted on Entourage). No difference. I tried creating a new user on
the Mac itself, and logged in as that user. I set up Entourage as
basic as I could. Still I get this delay. At times I get the spinning
beach ball.
Do you have any schedule set to run at startup? What type of account? (POP,
IMAP, Exchange). Is this Office 2008? If yes, did the change start when you
upgraded?
I know you say you have load of RAM, but have you checked the Activity
Monitor when this happens.
Beachballitis Basics:
Beachballitis happens when you're running with too little memory for what
you're doing. Which means that in general the situation you're describing IS
happening but not to things you can deal with but with the Virtual Memory
system. What you describe can happen when the memory system is constantly
having to unload from and load into memory from the disk drive.
Have you run Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder? And have you
watched the value for Free when the System Memory tab (at the bottom) is
selected. From what I've seen when this number gets below 50MB the system
will start to slow down. When it gets down to 20MB or 10MB you get what you
call Beachballitis.
They only real cure is to run fewer programs or buy more memory.
Now if you're leaving your system running for days at a time and also not
quitting programs you might be running into a situation where one or more of
the common programs you use "leaks" memory. This means it doesn't release
memory when done with it and over time will consume more and more memory.
Which can lead to the shortage noted above. And the only cure is to quit the
program and at times restart the computer to get things back to a decent
state. posted by David Ross on TidBITS talk.
