Well, it's late at night, so somebody is bound to chip in with an obvious simple way of doing this that I can’t see right now, but if you select a message, then run this script you will be told of where the message lies.

This URL should load the script for you:

If it doesn't, then copy it from below.


tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to set theFolder to storage of item 1 of (get current messages)
set thePath to "On My Computer" & my getPath(theFolder) & ":" & name of theFolder
display dialog "The selected message is in the folder:" & return & thePath buttons {"OK"} default button 1

on getPath(theItem)
    set nameString to ""
    try
        tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to set theParent to parent of theItem
        set nameString to my getPath(theParent) & ":" & name of theParent
    end try
    return nameString
end getPath
