Hi and thanks for the answers. My goal would be being able to activate a rule so that received messages stored in the Inbox folder of my Exchange account and older than a given date are moved to a local folder.
I am aware there are application like Entourage Email Archive X to achieve this, but I would like something smaller and within Entourage. I think an Applescript is the only way to go then. Unfortunately I am not very good at writing Applescripts and what I have found here http://www.entourage.mvps.org/exchange/autoarchive.html is very nice but too complicated to be edited by me... :-) I would simply need to move the old messages (30 days) from the Inbox folder of my Exchange account (no subfolders) to a destination local (On my computer) folder and ideally the same for the Sent messages to a different local folder. Any help would be very much appreciated! Greetings! Carlo Il giorno 21-09-2007 2:24, Thomas H.
