Hi and thanks for the hint !
I know this might be slightly off topic since actually it¹s more about
scripting than Entourage, but this subject is very useful...
Is there a way to refer to the ³previous month² in the script in order to
move\keep messages together by month instead of being older than X days ?
I have tried this to refer to months but it¹s not correct...
(January minus 1 equal to ³0²)
set presentmonth to get (month of (current date))
set pastmonth to (presentmonth - 1)
.......
.......
Or this
set pastmonth to ((current date)'s month) - 1
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
move (every message in (get sent items folder of Exchange account 1)
whose time received = pastmonth) to sent items folder
end tell
but it does not work either
Many thanks for your help!
Ciao
Carlo

Oggetto: Re: automatically move emails to local folders
With an AppleScript that did the same thing, create a schedule to run it
once a month.
I can't recall if 'move' works from Exchange to local in AppleScript without
having to delete afterwards, and don't have an Exchange account to test
with, but I think so.
set _30DaysAgo to (current date) - (30 * days)
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
move (every message in (get sent items folder of Exchange account 1)
whose time received > _30DaysAgo) to sent items folder
end tell
(I'm using 'time received' rather than 'time sent' to avoid problems with
messages sent with false dates such as spam sent with dates in the future,
but adjust it if you wish.) Try it out once to see if it works as is. If
so, save the script to the Entourage Script Menu Items folder in the
Microsoft User Data folder, and create a schedule to run it every month.
