I'd like to store my emails on my IMAP account, but am having trouble
creating Schedules to manage them. Anyone surmounted this obstacle?

Sorry, I don't understand what the problem is. Is it that you don't know how
to make a schedule to check for mail? If so, under the 'Tools' menu, select
'schedules', then double-click the 'Send & Receive All' scheudle that should
be listed there in bold.

Make sure there is one action there to send mail, then that there is an
action to receive mail for each account you want to get mail from. Add more
actions (if necessary) by clicking the oraneg '+ Add Action' button at the
top of the action list.

I do understand Schedules, but Entourage won't let me choose an IMAP folder
to run on. My goal is to have Entourage automatically delete older/stale
messages from my IMAP folders as it does On My Computer. It's a pain to
have to manually do this as I get close to quota.

Ah, I see,

There are some things you can't do with IMAP folder, and this is one of
them.

You could set up a script to delete the mail though, and use the schedule to
run the script.

True. I've written scripts to kill dupes of messages and calendar events.
Why not this? It still feels like I'm doing Microsoft's work for it.
