Hi Paul,
I�d like to try this but have next to no experience with scripts and have a
few questions:
Is there a specific date format I need to use?
When I fill in the current date, do I remove or keep the parentheses?
Same when I change the number of days?
Is �Something� the only other thing I have to change?
Do I leave it (the category name, that is) in quotes?
Is it �deleted mail folder� or �deleted items folder�?
I did copy the script into the Script Editor, made some of the changes and
ran a syntax check to see what would happen. It stopped on the word �time�
and said �Expected end of line, etc., but found property.� The script at
that point looked like this:
set sentDate to (April 25, 2002) - (32 * days) -- will keep updating
tell app "Microsoft Entourage"
delete every message of deleted mail folder where its category contains
{category "Orchid"} and its sent time is less than sentDate
end tell
In case it�s not clear, what I want to do is delete all messages in my
Deleted Items folder that fall into the category �Orchid� when they�re more
than 32 days old. I appreciate your help.
Beth
