Ow. I'm not surprised!
Is that a local inbox ('folders on my computer') or an IMAP or Exchange account?
If the latter, it may just take a long, long time for the folders to sync. Try starting entourage with the shift key held down to disable and schedules that are set to run on launch.
How did you manage to get so many emails in the inbox?

Well, I'm sorry to say that you're moving into the realm of the untried here!
Have you downloaded those 270,000 mails, or are they sitting on your server?
If you have downloaded them, the best advise I can offer is to reboot the mac, open just entourage and then try again.
If they are still on the server, try to access the inbox through web mail or whatever other method your ISP provides - you may be able to delete a mass of stuff that way.

Steve, you may win some kind of award here. I've sent your post to my entreprenuerial friends, just so they can get a new sense of what "out of control" really looks like! With all due respect, Entourage is not the problem here. If you're trying to get something accomplished in your life, learning to say no is a critical part of the puzzle! If I may suggest, pick up a copy of Getting Things Done, by David Allen. It'll transform not only how organization takes place in work and home, but it'll also help in learning to distinguish important from the rest. It's been a lifesaver for me.
LOL! Thanks for the tip...however misguided. Our business model prevents me from simply deleting the spam or bouncing it before it arrives. So, every so often I let a bunch collect and apply a nice little rule to it to move the likely spam to a special folder, that it is then archived.
So, if you have anything technical to solve the can't open a large folder issue, the input is welcome!

Have you enabled the Junk Mail Filter? You can select the level of protection you want and the mail will go the the Junk folder rather than your Inbox for further examination.
