Re: Disappearing Links

I did not see a clear answer to the questions about disappearing
links, etc. Several hundred links disappeared from my Mail,
apparently following a database rebuild. Links are billed by MS as a
feature, yet they seem pretty fragile, to be kind, if they cannot
withstand use of the Entourage repair utility, or if some other
mystical conditions are required for them to function reliably.

What are my options? Re-install the entire application? Re-install
the last update? Please help. Thanks!

Entourage 2004 does not preserve links, category assignments and a few other features after a rebuild. Entourage 2008 does preserve all this.

I believe someone has a script for rebuilding links but I'm unable to find it at the moment.
