Junk Filter question.

Chris

Just installed Office 2004, have a quick question.

My wife uses the iMac at home, and I use the iBook. Because of this,
we leave messages on the POP server when we retreive them so that both
computers can have them. When we found junk email in v.X we'd take it
off the server then delete it. I have two questions with the new junk
mail filter.

1. Being that we leave our messages on the server, is there a way
that Entourage will remove junk from the server that it automatically
filters out? I've had one email come through that Entourage moved
over automatically to the junk folder, but it was left on the server.
Can I automate that?

2. If junk gets through the filter and I click the junk button in the
toolbar, can I somehow tell Entourage to also remove it from the
server when I click the button?

Thanks for any ideas.

I use this script run via a rule on all incoming Junk Mail messages for my
POP accounts:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set cm to current messages
repeat with msg in cm
set category of msg to {category id 1}
set read status of msg to read
set onStat to online status of msg
if onStat is not (not on server) then set connection action of msg
to remove at next connection
try
move msg to folder "Junk E-mail"
on error
delete msg
end try
end repeat
end tell

2. If junk gets through the filter and I click the junk button in the
toolbar, can I somehow tell Entourage to also remove it from the

No, but you could assign a keyboard command to the script and then use it
instead of the button.
