To determine the location & path of a message, you can use Barry
Wainwright's "Show Message Location" script:
(*
Barry Wainwright
Entourage-Talk List
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Wed, 04 Oct 2006 07:04:52 +0100
*)
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theMessage to item 1 of (get current messages)
set theItem to storage of theMessage
set containerPath to {subject of theMessage, name of theItem}
repeat
try
set theItem to parent of theItem
copy name of theItem to end of containerPath
on error
exit repeat
end try
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"/"}
set pathList to (reverse of containerPath) as text
display dialog "Path to selected message is:" & return & pathList
buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end tell
Install the script by pasting the above script into a new script in Script
Editor (/Applications/Script Editor/). Then, save it as "Show Message
Location " into ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu
Items/. Then, if you find a message that resides in the folder, you can
click the script menu next to the "Help" menu and select "Show Message
Location" to show the path to the message.
