Try using this script:
property scheduleName : "2 Minute Mail Check" -- the name of the schedule you want to toggle
property theScript : alias "HD:Documents:Microsoft User Data:Entourage Script Menu Items:Autocheck - (Off)" - This script!
try
set theSchedule to item 1 of (get every «class cSch» whose name contains scheduleName)
on error
display dialog "No Schedule present called: " & scheduleName buttons {"Quit"} default button 1
return
end try
set scheduleActive to not enabled of theSchedule
set enabled of theSchedule to scheduleActive
if scheduleActive is true then
tell application "Finder" to set name of theScript to "Autocheck - (On)"
else
tell application "Finder" to set name of theScript to "Autocheck - (Off)"
end if
Copy-paste the script into your favoured script editor (or use my scripts that automate this process :). Alter the first line to reflect the name of your autocheck schedule and the second line to reflect the name of your hard disk.and save it in E's script folder with the name 'Autocheck - (Off)'. Now, you can simply select this script from the menu to tohggle your 3 minute mail check on & off. If you want to assign a keystroke to the script you can look up how to do this in the on-line help.
HTH!
