I'm using Entourage 2004 with an IMAP server. I have a number of rules,
moving incoming messages to other IMAP folders. The rules work fine and the
messages end up in the folders I want, but in contrast to for example
Apple's Mail, the destination folders are not refreshed immediately.

The behaviour I would expect is that if I have a rule and a new matching
message arrives, the message is transferred to the designated folder, and
then that folder should immediately indicate one more unread message, and
that message should be cached locally.

The behaviour I see is that the message is transferred to the correct IMAP
folder, but the folder does not indicate one more unread message until I
click on it or the "look for unread messages in subscribed folders" job
kicks in.

Even worse, when the folder indicates unread messages, and I click on it, it
does not display the new message immediately, probably because it is not
cached locally yet. Entourage connects to the server and downloads the
messages and plays the "new mail" sound, which I think is the wrong
behaviour.

It would be really nice to solve this, because I like Entourage 2004 very
much, but I find this behaviour rather irritating.

If no easy fix is possible, could I add an Applescript action to the end of
every rule to refresh the destination folder? In a rule moving messages to
the folder "Apple News", I could add a "Run Applescript" and have a script
the refreshes the folder "Apple News". How would such a script look like?
