Hi!

I am a cocoa developer playing around with AppleScript. Now want to get all unread count from my Entourage mailboxes. I wrote this little script:

property FolderCount : 0
property UnreadCount : 0
property FolderNumber : 0
property TotalUnreadCount : 0

on activated theObject
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set FolderCount to number of folders
repeat FolderCount times

try
set FolderNumber to (FolderNumber + 1)

set UnreadCount to unread message count of folder id (FolderNumber)
set TotalUnreadCount to TotalUnreadCount + UnreadCount

end try
end repeat
end tell
tell window "mailwindow"
set contents of text field "foldercounter" to TotalUnreadCount
end tell
end activated

No what I thought I was doing is that I get how many folders I have in Entourage (starting with id 1 as the inbox...), then repeat my script as many times as i have folders, and get the unread count of each individual folder, add them up and write out my unread count to my text field in my window. Now this is not happening. In fact all that's going on is that Entourage keeps crashing and quitting everytime I run the script. The strange thing is that if i put an integer, like 1 or 2 instead of FolderNumber, the app works, but only for the folder I specified the ID for. So I guess my syntax is alright, by why does Entourage keep crashing on me?

Thanks in advance for all comments,
