Delete contents of a folder other than "Deleted Items"

Hello,

I use Entourage 2004 and SpamSieve. Whenever my spam detector identifies
Spam it is sent to a folder in Entourage called ³Spam². When I right click
this folder, there is no option to delete the folder¹s contents like there
is when right clicking ³Deleted Items². Is there a way to add a ³Empty Spam
Items² line onto the contextual menu of my Spam folder? Otherwise, I have
to delete the messages one at a time. This opens them in preview and I
really don¹t want to even preview the spam. Any help would be appreciated.

You can create a schedule to do this, then you can either run it on a timer,
or choose to run it manually.

You can do this through a schedule, but for the spam folder I use a script
to delete the messages entirely, instead of just sending them to the deleted
items folder. Click this link:

Or copy the script here:

-- Nuke the Junk Mail v1.0.0
-- A script for Microsoft Entourage v11
-- (will not work with vX)
-- 19/12/2003 - First version

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theMail to every message of folder id 6
delete theMail
delete theMail
end tell
