Hi, I have strange problem. When I moved to Ent2008 on a new computer I copied the rules I generated in the new version, old computer into the new version, new computer. Well for some reason the rules were garbled and misdirected emails to the wrong folders. One was my calendar on the network. I changed the rules to what they should have been but Entourage shows two "emails" or something associated with the calendar. How do I remove this? Thanks.

I have seen something similar before, but not in the situation you
describe.

try dragging the emails onto your desktop, then drag them back into the
inbox. If they import OK, you can delete them out of the calendar.

Barry, thanks. the problem is that I can't find the emails in the calendar. It just shows a "(2)" next to the the folder list on the left side of the box next to the network calendar folder. I've turned the calendar into calendar lists instead of calendar structure and went through the lists for several years to see if I could find something odd. I didn't see anything. Well its not critical or debilitating, just annoying. So don't worry about it. I appreciate the response though.

Although you shouldn't be able to do this intentionally, a malformed
rule or sometimes an AppleScript can move mail messages into locations
where they shouldn't be. If this is what happened to you then an
AppleScript should be able to move them out.

The following script should run safely on your Mac because technically
"messages" are not the same as "calendar events". It will look for
"messages" in the calendar and move them to a new mail folder.

Please, please be sure to back up your Microsoft User Data folder found
in the Documents folder of your home folder before doing this... just in
case.

Open the Script Editor application found in /Applications/AppleScript
and paste the following six lines into it. (Line 2 is wrapping here.)

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set recoveryFolder to make new folder with properties
{name:"Recovered Messages"}
repeat with thisCalendar in (every calendar)
move every message of thisCalendar to recoveryFolder
end repeat
end tell

Click the Run button in the Script Editor.

If all goes well then you'll have a "Recovered Messages" folder with two
unread mail messages under "On My Computer".

Hope this helps!
