A script to show the folder for any Entourage message
Authored by: scotty321 on Aug 17, '05 11:56:55AM

You don't have to go through all of this to see what folder a message is in. If you're looking at an open Entourage message, just click on the "Move" button on the toolbar, and the very first folder listed is the folder that the message lives in. It's that simple!

A script to show the folder for any Entourage message

Go through all of what! If you do it your way, you have to hit one more button. I am too lazy for that.

Actually, I just tried your suggestion. I picked two emails from the Inbox and one email from the delete folder. When I click on move, all of the top level folders are Inbox no matter where they are saved so your suggestion doesn't work for me.

You should really be more careful about your comments before criticizing others for trying to do something positive.

thx

Scotty is right. I use this one-step process on a regular basis when trying to hunt down folder paths for similar emails. I'm not entirely sure what you are doing but it's one button click (move) and there's the path. I can only speculate as to why you are not seeing different folder paths for different open messages.

maybe its the version
Authored by: roncross@cox.net on Aug 18, '05 07:17:04PM

I am using version 11.1.0, entourage 2004. I wonder if my move button is responding differently because I am on an exchange server. Are any of you on an exchange server?

At any rate, move doesn't work for me and it may not work for others as well. This is just a script to show you the folder of an email message in case clicking the MOVE button doesn't work for you.

Even if MOVE did work for me, I still prefer the script since I only have to hit a hotkey. With MOVE, you still have to hit the cancel button.

Ok, I stand corrected.

I do see what you are talking about. You have to click on the triangle pointing down next to move. Once you have identified the folder, you can just move the mouse off the window and it will go away.

thanks for the tip. Now you have the option of clicking or hotkey. I will use both

A script to show the folder for any Entourage message

The "move" trick doesn't work for me. The first folder always defaults to Inbox. I agree that this is a big weakness of Entourage. This is not its only weakness, and I will not diverge from the subject, but I coudl go on and on.
