So if the server doesn't support it, does it first download to cache in order to search, or show an error, or give false negatives? Are there any servers that can search message body and attachments? If so, shouldn't IMAP rules have Message Body and Attachment criteria - especially if the fall-back is to download to cache if the server can't search? Or is there some other reason why IMAP Rules do not offer Message Body and Attachment criteria? I always assumed it was because a message had to be decoded first. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
