entourage crashes when deleting emails

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Recently my entourage has been locking up and crashing after I delete several emails. I am by no means a computer guy so if you could give me some simple help I would appreciate it very much.

This looks like a corruption.
Make sure Office is up to date, then launch Entourage pressing the
Option key down to rebuild your identity,

How many messages are you trying to delete at once? Entourage does have
problems when you're trying to delete more than 200 or 300 messages at once.
You may also have a corrupt message. Select a smaller number of messages
and delete them. Continue this process until the problem happens again.
The next time, select half of those messages and attempt to delete them.
Continue to divide and conquer until you hit the problem message(s).
Hope this helps!

You can try dragging to the trash. Sometimes they don't delete. In this case
you have to create a new Identity.
How to manually move your data. (when import fails and/or you need to move
to a new Identity same version or revert to an older version)

Sometimes AppleScript can help in these situations. Try this first if
you find a message that absolutely will not delete without causing problems.
WARNING: This method will permanently delete what you have selected. Be
careful that you have selected what you want to delete.
1. Open the Script Editor application found in
/Applications/AppleScript.
2. Paste in this script:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theItem to selection
delete theItem
end tell
3. Select your message in Entourage.
4. Click the Run button in the Script Editor.

It did not work so I guess I will have to build a new identity. Thanks for the help.
