Sure you can.
Define a new schedule. Set the trigger to be 'on shutdown'. Set an action to
be 'run a script' and set the script to be something like:
Tell app "microsoft entourage"
Delete every message of folder "deleted items" where it's category contains
{category "junk"}
every message of folder "deleted items" where it's time sent < (current
date) - (5 * days)
End tell
(that should be just two lines between the 'tell� - end tell' statements)
