Q: If I include Entourage .eml email backup, does the size of my archive change?
A: Yes, saving archives as Emails + Attachments or Only Attachment AND native Entourage file format .eml, doubles the space of archive because attachments are also embedded in native Entourage .eml file.

Also, starting from EEAX 5.2.0 user can generate MBOX file from .eml archived files.
Q: When I export as a Tab-Text file and after importing the file into the FM Pro template, the fields don't match?
A: Before importing data into FileMaker it is important to select the option: Tab-Separated Text from the popup menu of FileMaker Pro. See section Import Tab-Text file into FileMaker Pro template.
Q: When I click "Process" I receive the error: "EEAX found N Databases in my Office Identity in Microsoft User Data folder. Please keep the primary database."
A: This means that you have multiple copies of Microsoft database inside your Identity folder located in /Users/Your Account/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/Your Identity/
Quit Entourage and move all the the other copies of Microsoft Database to the Desktop, in another folder, or keep them on a DVD Backup. In the Entourage Identity folder you need only one Database file. Previous copies were created by older versions of Entourage. The latest version of Entourage 2008 can generate a backup, using the Microsoft Database Utility, it will back up directly in /Users/Your Account/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/ as separate folder. Quit and re-launch Entourage and EEAX.
Q: When I choose the command "Delete processed emails" I receive the error "The creation date of the Microsoft Database is not the same written in the processed emails log. For security reasons EEAX cannot move the processed emails."
A: To ensure that messages are retrieved from the original Entourage Identity, EEAX saves the date of Microft identity in the session log. This is a safety procedure to ensure that the database and all emails contained therein are correct and that database integrity has not been compromised.
