No, that was a script snippet that assumed you had already defined the
variable 'selectedFolder' to be a reference to a particular folder.
If you only want to empty the junk mail folder, then this will do it without
selecting, at any time.
Tell app "Microsoft Entourage"
Set theMessages to messages of folder id 5
Delete themessages
Delete themessages
End tell
That's the full script. Nothing else needed. It will empty the junk mail
folder every time, no matter what is selected or foremost.
