Re: Why can't I empty the junk folder?

Title: Re: Why can't I empty the junk folder?

You can set up a schedule to delete mail from specified folders, which can be fired by selecting 'run schedule' from the Tools menu or by automating the schedule.

Alternatively, a script to delete the junk mail can be set up to run from a keyboard command:

Tell app "Microsoft Entourage"
Set theJunk to every message of folder id 6 -- local junk mail folder
    Try
        Delete theJunk -- moves to 'deleted items'
        Delete theJunk -- removes from database
    End try
End tell

Save the script as a compiled script & put it in the ‘Entourage Script Menu Items’ folder in your ‘Microsoft User Data’ folder. The script can be manually run from the menu or called as an action in a mail rule.

For tips on naming the script so it gets a keyboard command, see the on-line help (search for 'about the script menu')
