Paul,
  That much I figured out.  That’s how I got to the point of creating the account.  But I cannot figure out how to actually apply those account properties.  Everything I’ve tried either returns an error or just does nothing.  Any idea how to actually apply those properties?
Here’s what I have so far

Tell application “Microsoft Entourage”
Activate
Make new IMAP account
End tell

This creates the account, but how and where do I give it the properties I want to set.
Thanks!!
