The fact that Entourage only crashes with the one account suggests  
the problem is not database corruption. I've had this happen with two  
different accounts. One account was on a server that was under a DOS  
attack and was very slow to respond and Entourage was unable to  
gracefully disengage. The second account was on a server that sent an  
error message that Entourage didn't recognize. As you experienced, I  
could get email from these two servers with other programs. In the  
one case once the DOS was over my problems ended. In the other I  
contacted the server's administrator and the issue was resolved.
