Anna D. Mikiewicz

GREETINGS,

HOW DO I DELETE ALL THE JUNK EMAILS LIST IN MY ENTOURAGE PROGRAM LOCATED IN
THE "MAILVIEWS" AREA IN UNREAD EMAILS FOLDER ??
SEEMS I MUST HAVE DELETED ALL THESE JUNK EMAILS WHEN I RECEIVED THEM INTO
MY INBOX, BUT FOR SOME REASON MANY ARE STILL LISTED
IN THIS FOLDER. I TRIED TO DELETE THEM, BUT THEY WILL NOT DELETE ­ FOR SOME
REASON THE ENTOURAGE PROGRAM WANTS TO KEEP THEM.

PLEASE ADVISE ­ THX :)

I suspect that these emails are in the 'deleted items' folder, but still
unread. The 'unread emails' view could be edited to exclude the deleted
items folder (right-click or control-click on the mail view icon in the
folder listing to edit it), or you could just empty the deleted items
folder.

To trash junk messages without passing them into the deleted items folder,
you could use this 'nuke the junk mail' script:

-- Nuke the Junk Mail v1.2
-- A script for Microsoft Entourage v11
-- (will not work with vX)
-- an applescript by Barry Wainwright <mailto:[email protected]>

-- 19/12/2003 - First version
-- 18/10/2004 - v1.1 Finally got round to adding IMAP accounts!
-- 27/01/2007 - v1.2 Added Exchange accounts as well

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
-- Local Junk Mail
set theMail to every message of folder id 6
delete theMail
delete theMail

-- Imap Accounts
set IMAPaccounts to every IMAP account
repeat with anAccount in IMAPaccounts
try
set theMail to every message of folder "Junk E-Mail" of
anAccount
delete theMail
delete theMail
end try
end repeat

-- Exchange Accounts
set exchangeAccounts to every Exchange account
repeat with anAccount in exchangeAccounts
try
set theMail to every message of folder "Junk E-Mail" of
anAccount
delete theMail
delete theMail
end try
end repeat

end tell



Copy the script to a new script window in Apples 'Script Editor.app'. Save
the script as a compiled script & put it in the ŒEntourage Script Menu
Items¹ folder in your ŒMicrosoft User Data¹ folder. The script can be
manually run from the menu or called as an action in a schedule.
