Yes, but this is neater (and please stop changing my HTML messages to plaintext. I send them in HTML so that the long lines won't break, which makes them unable to compile in Script Editor):

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set msgList to current messages
    repeat with oneMsg in msgList
        if address of address of (first recipient of oneMsg) does not start with "postmaster@" then
            set theFwd to forward oneMsg to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" without opening window
            send theFwd with sending later
        end if
        move oneMsg to folder id 6
    end repeat
end tell

AS is case-insensitive except in very special cases not applicable here. There's no need to lowercase it, which in AppleScript can't be done easily like that without a scripting addition. Well-spotted, but it's OK as it is.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - **2004**, X  or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
