I wasn't following this thread all along, but it looks like we're talking about Office 2001?
If so, I set an easy keyboard command for the "delete from server" applescript so I can easily highlight a group of messages (99% of the time it's my "junk mail" folder and then quickly delete them from the server. I assigned the keyboard command of cntrl-shift-D (to do this, append "\csD" - without the quotes - to the end of the script name...mine looks like this: "Delete From Server\csD") I prefer to keep my hands on the keyboard, rather than move to the mouse, so this procedure is the easiest and fastest for me. I use this command a lot in general, as I keep almost all my mail on the server, from about 30 accounts, which I check many times a day from 2 different locations - deleting the messages that I don't need duplicate copies of (about 75% of them) is less tedious then downloading and sorting through all the dupes of stuff i've already dealt with.
