After Sending, Move To Tool...

Entourage 2004 had an option via a tool icon to move a message to a folder after you send it. I do not see that tool available in the customize tool kit but only in the top menu.

Not as handy. Any suggestions? I can alway create a Quickey.

I've seen many others request this. Be sure to let Microsoft know you'd
like to see this feature come back by using the Help --> Send Feedback
mechanism in any Office application.

Thanks, Bill. For some strange reason, that tool now has appeared in the Entourage Tool Bar as a small blue folder with an arrow pointing to the right.

Any idea how that happened?

PS: Attempted to paste a small picture of it in this reply but could not.

Oops, I kind of goofed. The "Move" tool is available in reading messages but not in sending, replying, or forwarding. So, I'm using a QuicKey.

You can create an Outgoing Rule to move messages after sending.

Thanks, Diane, but it appears that only works if I know which messages I always want to move to which folders. In Entourage 2004, we had a tool icon where you could select via a pulldown tool "After Sending, Move Message To..." Now, in Office 2008, we do not (at least I can't find one that I can put in the toolbar in a new message).

I'm now using a QuicKey to get that option via the menu bar, but it is kludgey.

I¹m breaking the rule of not using HTLM because I¹m pasting a script. This
way the lines won¹t break for you to paste in the code.

Here¹s a script you can modify. Make one for some of your favorite folders.
The name of the folder in this script is !Recent Items. Change if for your
folder name.

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
try
set theMessages to current messages
on error
display dialog "select some messages before running this script."
buttons {"Quit Script"} default button 1 with icon stop
return
end try

try
move theMessages to folder "!Recent Items"
on error
display dialog "An error occurred and the messages were not moved.
Does the folder\"!Process Later\" exist?" buttons {"Quit Script"} default
button 1 with icon stop
return
end try
end tell


Another really handy script is

File Msgs in Folder By: Allen Watson

<http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/.Public/Scripts/Entourage OS X%2
6%202004/File%20Msgs%20in%20Folder%20v4%5CmocF.zip>

Or use Tiny URL: <http://tinyurl.com/3ym5az>

With one or more messages selected, this lets you type in a few characters
of a folder's name and moves the messages to that folder. If the match is
inconclusive, it presents a listing of the folders with the first match
selected and lets you select the one you want. Remembers last folder picked
for fast repeat operations. Shortcut assigned: Cmd-Shift-M, and typing the
folder name, will accomplish ALMOST the same thing, and about in the same
time.)

This is a vital function for me - i always used the After Sending, Move To Tool...button to select where a message would be filed after I send it - now I have to go all the way up to a menu and down to a selection.

This is takes us backwards.

Please everybody use the feedback function

Cheers, Robert.
