Sorry, it must be because I'm on a very fast G5. If the timing's wrong in the empty repeat/end repeat loops, you could get those lockups. I don't think it will be much better with

                repeat until (ID of every message of sent mail folder) contains {fwdID}
                    delay 1
               end repeat

although it's worth a try. It's not something that should be noticeable if you're deleting just one message, but will be if you have a lot. All scripts run by Entourage do this. (Including Allen's. but you might possibly hit errors with his if the message takes a long time to send.) You could save the script as an Application and run it from the dock or desktop, and then it won't lock up Entourage.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
