That is not a very good script. It tries first of all to do a "Receive All"
and then waits until all messages have been received. The script was
probably written some time ago when things were slow and everyone used
dialup PPP. If you connect via DSL or cable or T1 and there are no messages
for you, or else if you have only IMAP (or Hotmail) accounts, the 'connect
to every POP account' will actually finish before the 'delay 1' command. (In
fact I don't see why that's in there at all.) If that happens, you will go
into 'delay' mode forever (i.e. until you quit Entourage). That ties up
Entourage in that the script will never finish, and prevents you from
clicking or key pressing anything. It effectively freezes Entourage.
I am on dialup and it takes 30 seconds to even connect. The reason I asked for this script is because my ISP asked me to tone down my connection time so I am trying to automate everything so my news and mail are ready for me when I want to read them and I don't have to be online all the time. The scripts work great when Entourage isn't initiating them.
I've been using the MacSoup script for a long time and it doesn't tie anything up. Actually, I don't think the timeout works at all because even with the script, it times out before my connection can start. I have to do a connect script and a delay before I can run the MacSoup script when I use it.
I thought this would be a great solution to time the MacSoup script by inserting it it a script along with the Entourage script but maybe I need to run each of them separately and just use iKey for the MacSoup script.
