Hi Diane, For years I have used Eudora's mail program but recently the University of Chicago moved us to a Microsoft Exchange mail server and now Entourage is my Apple Macintosh mail client. Frequently I like to file e-mail under specific individuals names on my own computer and in Eudora I could select the message and using the Transfer menu drop down to a menu that had a hierarchical function allowing me to simply drag and drop the mail from the in or out box directly into the appropriate target mail box on my computer. But in Entourage I must select a given message, go up to the move icon, click on the down arrow and then mouse over to the folders on the left hand side, open up the alphabetical list, find the name of interest and finally click "Move". (I have added a folder ³Mail Folder Other² on ³Folders on My Computer² and then filed alphabetically each of my contacts into subfolders in Folder A, Folder B ...Folder Z). To do this for each piece of in or sent mail that I wish to save on my computer is very labor intensive. Is there a more "Eudora" like trick I can use? Perhaps an Apple script or plug in to make accessible such drop down menus to drag and drop a selected message into the appropriate mail box on my computer. Entourage does add recently transferred mail to a list under move, but the list is not very long (only 20 entries) and the list constantly refreshes, removing older transfers for more recent transfers from the list. I suspect someone may have figured this out, but I have not found an apple script or something like Apple automator to do this. Thanks for any help you can give me.
