This quick test script seems to work:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
execute schedule "Send & Receive All"
repeat
if connection in progress then
delay 2 -- to allow for gap between multiple accounts
else
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
delay 1 -- to allow time for progress bar to stop
-- now do something else
set entourageVersion to version
end tell
display dialog entourageVersion
You may want to experiment with changing or even eliminating the delay
commands, especially if there's only one account in your "Send & Receive
All" schedule. FYI, I'm using Entourage version 11.2.3, which is part of
Office 2004.
