Remove from Network in Rule

M

Mark Harrison

I have setup a rule to move certain unwanted mail to delete folder upon
receive but...

Is there anyway to also remove from Network at the same time. Having it in
the delete folder is good because then I just highlight all and remove
manually but if it can be done automatically I wouldn¹t have to do it when I
get to work AGAIN.

Thanks for the help.
Memomail is the culprit in this case.

Hi Mark!

What sort of email connection are you using? Is it POP3, IMAP or
Exchange?

With POP3 the default for your account is to download and delete
messages. Therefore mail is automatically getting deleted from the
server already. If it's staying on the server go to Tools --> Accounts
--> your POP account and look under Options. You'll select "Delete
messages from the server after they are deleted from this computer".

With IMAP, you'll need to edit your account settings directly by going
to Tools --> Accounts --> your IMAP account. Select Advanced and under
the Delete options you'll select 'Empty "Deleted Items" folder on quit".

With Exchange you can set up a schedule to delete items from Deleted
Items when you quit. Go to Tools --> Run Schedule --> Edit Schedules.
Create a new schedule if necessary and set When to "On quit" and Action
to "Delete Mail" from... and select the Deleted Items or Trash of your
account.

Hope this helps! bill

Thanks Bill,

I’m using 3 POP accounts (probably 5 can’t check the home accts) and I want
to keep them on the server since I use Entourage at Home and Work and want
to see the emails (good ones) at both places. I delete a lot of emails at
home that I know I will see at work and I want to see them at work so If I
flip that switch in TOOLS I couldn’t delete from home and still see them
(the good ones) at work. I may have to adjust how I read emails then if
there is no separate way of deleting from server on a category basis. Thanks
for the help. I may just hit that in tools and set up a separate folder to
put all work emails and then delete weekly from there. Will take some
getting used too, though.

Thanks again,
mark

Set the last action of your mail rule to run this script:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theMessage to item 1 of (get current messages)
set connection action of theMessage to remove at next connection
end tell

The message will then be removed from the server.

Deleting automatically can be dangerous. If anything goes wrong you could
loose valuable mail.

Look at the options tab on the Accounts window and select to delete from
server when deleted from the computer.

My two cents...
