Any messages that I forward, or messages that I auto-reply to (via rule) end
up in my OUT box where I have to manually send each one.
What am I doing wrong?
Nothing. That's the default behavior. If you want them to be sent
automatically, you can do that.
Launch Script Editor (/Applications/Script Editor/) and paste this in:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
execute schedule "Send All"
end tell
Save the script to /Users/<Your User>/Documents/Microsoft User
Data/Entourage Script Menu Items/ (or /Documents/Microsoft User
Data/Entourage Script Menu Items/ if you use Entourage 2001). Save it as
"Send All Messages".
Open the rules that create new messages, and for each one, add the action
"Run AppleScript". Choose the AppleScript you just saved.
Now all messages in the Outbox will be sent when an outgoing message is
generated by one of these rules. It might be possible to write a script
that will send only the message generated by the rule rather than all in the
Outbox, but that would considerably more complicated because I believe that
would require the script to generate the outgoing message in the first
place. If you need that, post back and maybe one of the scripting experts
can help you.
