It is, but it will only work in 2004 - vX did not have the ability to delete
a list of messages, That's why theolder scripts iterate through a lit one
item at a time. Anyone using vX will still have to use the older script:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set currentMessages to current messages
if currentMessages = {} then return
repeat with aMessage in currentMessages
delete aMessage
try
delete aMessage
end try
end repeat
end tell
Also, be aware that this method does not work for IMAP messages. They will
be left in your deleted items folder (if your delete model is set to move to
deleted items folder)
