Outlook PST files have a very complicated internal database structure, which is read from and written to probably thousands of times every day, and they tend to be quite large. The combination of these characteristics, combined with the fact that Outlook and Windows do crash every now an then, makes
Recovering email from a corrupt Entourage Database file
Someone recently wrote in asking how to recover email from a corrupt Entourage Database file and then how to get the email into a new version of Entourage. Specifically, the asker had a file that Entourage 2008 could not import or upgrade from an earlier version, and he had tried
