Michael, your example helped me to solve a problem I've had running Entourage 2001 in Classic for quite a while! I'd been using ACTION Menus in OS 9 to assign a keyboard command to a schedule that checks each of my POP servers once ("Send & Receive All" isn't appropriate because I have an account set up for every permutation of sending SMTP server and return email address - which would end up checking every POP account about 7 times). When I moved to X, the keyboard command functionality of AM stopped working in Classic.

I've also been (mildly) annoyed that checking mail brings the progress window to the front.


Using your script, I made a VERY simple script:


tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set myWindow to window 1
    execute schedule "10 minute check"
    select myWindow
end tell

and named it "Check Mail \scM"

Now I just hit control-shift-m and it executes my schedule and brings the main window back to the front!

OK, so it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things; it's just cool to be able to have that functionality <grin>
