Hi there. I'm a newbie to Applescript and a newbie to this forum, but I have looked through my new "Applescript for Applications" manual and the Scripting Dictionary for Entourage, and I can't figure out how to do what I'd like to do, even though it seems like it shouldn't be that difficult.
I need to write an Applescript for Microsoft Entourage (for Mac, if that makes any difference) that that can assess how many messages are in the Outbox. Then, I need it to select a subset of those, say 200 messages, connect, send, pause for a very brief period, then do the same thing again until there are no remaining messages in the Outbox.
(I realize this may seem an odd request, and I do realize there are some prefab scripts (Send All and Send and Receive All) already available, but I do have my rather tedious reasons that I won't bore you with for needing to do the above. But if anyone actually does think this would be helpful information let me know.)
Thank you for reading, and I would much appreciate any tips anyone could provide!
