Is it possible to move a message from one folder to another without
using the mouse? Such a basic thing..
Thanks,
SA

Yes.
Hit cmd-shift-M to bring up the 'move' dialog, which you can navigate by
keyboard.
Note that you can quickly jump to any folder shown by typing the first few
letters of its name.

Thanks! I see now the shortcut right there at the bottom of the list
(I don't usually need to look that far down..)

A followup question: When press cmd-shift-M, up comes a list of
possible folders, and the "Folders on my computer" are at the top. I
would like to have them at the bottom, or always in a closed position
(I only move between folders on the Exchange server anyway.)
Is this possible?

That is not possible.
I can't see a way to ensure that either
What you can do, is learn to hit the 'cursor up' key, followed by 'cursor
left' key, this will collapse the 'on my computer' hierarchy.

Yes, I figured out that. So perhaps I could make a "keyboard macro"
for "cmd-shift-M up left"! I know how to make keyboard macros in
emacs; there might be some way using Applescript to achieve this.
Thanks again,

Allen Watson has a script for opening a folder based on selection from an
alphabetic list of folder names - just type in the first few letters of the
folder name and you are presented with a list of matching folders for easy
selection.
This script could easily be modified to move the selected messages to that
folder instead.

Yes, I figured out that. So perhaps I could make a "keyboard macro"
for "cmd-shift-M up left"! I know how to make keyboard macros in
emacs; there might be some way using Applescript to achieve this.
First, open System Preferences, and then open Universal Access Preferences.
Near the bottom, check the option to "Enable access for assistive devices",
and quit System Preferences.
Here's an AppleScript that will do it:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Microsoft Entourage"
try
pick menu item "Choose folder..." of menu 1 of menu item "Move
To" of menu "Message" of menu bar item "Message" of menu bar 1
on error
pick menu item "Choose folder..." of menu 1 of menu item "Copy
To" of menu "Message" of menu bar item "Message" of menu bar 1
end try
keystroke (ASCII character 30) -- "up arrow" keystroke
keystroke (ASCII character 28) -- "left arrow" keystroke
end tell
end tell
Copy this script into Script Editor (/Applications/Script Editor/) and then
save it as a script to /Users/your user/Documents/Microsoft User
Data/Entourage Script Menu Items/. Then, you can run it by going to the
script menu (to the right of the Help menu) in Entourage, or by appending a
special keystroke to the end of the filename. For example, if you name the
script:
Move To Folder\cmsM
the keyboard shortcut Control-Command-Shift-M should run the script.
