Move Entourage Message to Another Folder

M

I want to create an AppleScript to move a message in my inbox folder to
an archive folder. The catch is that the inbox is an exchange server.
The folder hierarchy is [myname]\inbox. I want to move it to
[myname]\inbox\archive. Is this possible? I know in earlier versions of
Entourage, it was not possible to get the message ID from a message in
an IMAP folder.

That is correct. You still can't move messages to or on servers. (By some
oversight, which is actually a bug, you CAN move calendar events to an
Exchange calendar, and it keeps the same ID. For now...)

You can, however duplicate messages to local folders by script. If you make
your archive folder somewhere "On My Computer" you can duplicate the message
to it, then delete the original, by script.
