 I have been using a script to close all message and draft windows in
 Entourage X but it doesn’t seem to be working at all in version 2004.
 Can anyone help? Thanks!

    I tried your script and variations of it; it appears that Entourage
    2004's AppleScript does not properly execute whose clauses for
    windows. Or at least for the class of windows. With a message window
    open, "every window whose class is message window" always returns
    "{}", which is incorrect. This is a bug, I believe.
    This workaround should do the trick, abeit a bit more slowly:
    tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
        set c to class of every window
        set w to every window
        repeat with i from 1 to (count w)
            if item i of c is in {message window, draft window} then
    close (item i of w)
        end repeat
    end tell
Thanks for the workaround  Allen... Worked like a charm! And definitely 
not slower than the previous at all :)
Option-clicking the close box might be an easier way to achieve what you 
are after...
