Right now I'm on a train and am working in off-line mode, trying to pare
down my IMAP in-box. I drag a message from my soon-to-be-discarded Mac.com
account's IMAP message list to a local "Archives" folder. Entourage throws
up a dialog and asks if I want to connect to the Internet to complete this
action. Why? Is there some action performed or some flag written to the IMAP
mail store when copying an IMAP message to a local folder? Even if so, is
this action something that cannot be recorded and performed during the next
connection?

I find this behavior puzzling. If I delete an IMAP message, it notifies me
that my offline actions are being recorded and will be executed upon the
next connection. It notifies me just once and doesn't bug me about any
subsequent deletions. This is good. This is exactly what I want. So why does
Entourage then have to serve up a dialog to me each and every time I want to
copy a message to a local folder? I end up hitting "Cancel" -- knowing full
well that the message will be copied just fine anyway -- and then deleting
the IMAP message afterward.

While this appears to me like a bug, I can only assume that there is a good
reason for this behavior. Can anyone enlighten me?

Much appreciated,

Justin  [using Entourage v.X SR-1]
