I was wondering the same thing as Raz0rEdge. What do you mean by a "rebuild"? Do you mean a reinstall?

No. Use the MS included uninstaller, and then reinstall, and run updates. Make sure you have your serial number on hand when you do the reinstall.

Again, the answer is no. Rebuilding the Entourage data base will take a while, however, make sure that you make a backup before you do the rebuild. If the Entourage data base is corrupt, the only way to correct it is doing a rebuild. But sometimes the rebuild leaves you in a worse condition than before - therefore, the advice about making a backup first.
