Technically speaking, the message still exists (it's in the Deleted Items folder, or maybe marked for deletion in an IMAP folder) and it's still unread. Functionally there's no point in alerting you, of course. I expect that the badge is programmed "technically" and that the only way for it to go away is to click on the dock icon, bringing Entourage to the front, which is not what you want if you dismiss the messages from the desktop alert. Making Entourage calculate if there are still any new messages which you have _not_ deleted (after all, some of the alerts might have simply faded away, as almost all mine are allowed to do) could get quite complicated. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - **2004**, X or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
