Possible to "Delete Permanently"?

Clif · Jan 18, 2007

I've recently switched to OS X/Entourage/Exchange from
Windows/Outook/Exchange and am looking for a way to delete emails
permanently in 1 swift step. Currently I use 1 rule to delete them,
then another that deletes them from Deleted Items. What am I missing?

set theMail to current messages
delete theMail
delete theMail
end try
end tell

Save the script as a compiled script & put it in the ŒEntourage Script Menu
Items¹ folder in your ŒMicrosoft User Data¹ folder. The script can be
manually run from the menu or called as an action in a mail rule.
