I never recommend rebuilding a database with an Exchange or IMAP
account. I suggest always starting a new identity and letting messages
synchronize again.
When database corruption is present, you don't know what kind of
corruption has occurred. You risk Entourage losing messages, contacts
and events (although this is rare) and then deleting them from your
server.
I have no idea why messages would be resent after a rebuild because we
don't know what's getting "fixed" in the Database. Sounds like some sort
of "I've been sent" flag is getting reset.
