Redirect and Forward Rule Just Site in Outbox and Don't Get Sent until I
quit Entourage 2004 and than the get sent to the destination I have
specified. What I want the rule to do is to send them immediately. Any
suggestion would be most welcome.

You don't have to quit Entourage. Just adjust your Send & Receive All
schedule in Tools/Schedules to add a repeating schedule every 5 minutes or
so, as well as running On Quit and At Startup. Then the messages will go out
within 5 minutes or sooner, or if you quit sooner than that. There is no way
to have them go out immediately.

Go to /Applications/AppleScript, and launch Script Editor. Copy & paste the
following code:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
execute schedule "Send & Receive All"
end tell

Then, save the Script as "Send Messages", and save it to
~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu Items/. Now, activate
Entourage, go to Tools > Rules, and select the "Redirect" rule. Add the
action "Run AppleScript", and locate the "Sent Messages" script you just
saved. Repeat your other rule to accomplish your goal.

Paul Berkowitz - Thank you Paul. I finally stole some time today to get
this working. Rules alone can¹t do it, you are correct ­ one must also set
the right schedule. I set it for one minute and that works fine. I am
forwarding all my AT&T mail to yahoo which, for some reason is the only
email I can access easily from my cell phone.....that was the reason I
wanted to automatically have all my email forwarded...

Thank you for solving my problem for me.

Best,

Richard
