Is there anything like mailtags (
www.indev.ca) for entourage or any
scripts out there that allow you to easily file into a chose folder.
I tried Allen Watsons File Msg in v4, but keep getting some kind of
junk mail error when running the script and doesnt seem to work
smoothly
You can try contacting Allen directly. Most script authors will respond to
inquiries about their scripts.
An alternative script would be to create "Move to" scripts for a folder.
This is only helpful if there are just a few folders you are constantly
using. Add a shortcut for easy use.
Here are a couple of different examples that you can modify.
Change name of folder read mail to what you want to use. Note it is in two
places in the script.
This script using a subfolder. Change the name of the folder and subfolder.
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
try
set theMessages to current messages
on error
display dialog "select some messages before running this script."
buttons {"Quit Script"} default button 1 with icon stop
return
end try
try
move theMessages to folder "read mail" of folder "inbox"
on error
display dialog "An error occurred and the messages were not moved.
Does the folder\"read\" exist?" buttons {"Quit Script"} default button 1
with icon stop
return
end try
repeat with aMessage in theMessages
set the read status of aMessage to read
end repeat
end tell
This script is for a folder not a subfolder:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
try
set theMessages to current messages
on error
display dialog "select some messages before running this script."
buttons {"Quit Script"} default button 1 with icon stop
return
end try
try
move theMessages to folder "Reference"
on error
display dialog "An error occurred and the messages were not moved.
Does the folder\"Reference\" exist?" buttons {"Quit Script"} default button
1 with icon stop
return
end try
repeat with aMessage in theMessages
set the read status of aMessage to read
end repeat
end tell
