Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Entourage 2008 has a new mail property

connection action (keep on server/download at next connection/remove at next connection) : what will be done with the message at the next connection?

What are the different values to this property?
I tried printing one set on a message and it says "CaLv"

How do i interpret this value and what are the different values to this property?

Thanks in advance

Entourage 2008 has a new mail property

connection action (keep on server/download at next connection/remove
at next connection) : what will be done with the message at the next
connection?

What are the different values to this property? I tried printing one
set on a message and it says "CaLv"

How do i interpret this value and what are the different values to
this property?

If you had included "AppleScript" in your subject or message body then
someone might have understood what you were asking more quickly.

Interpreting the different values of this property is fairly
straight-forward. You can "keep on server", "download at next
connection" or "remove at next connection".

What are you trying to accomplish with your script?

If you select a message in the Inbox under "On My Computer" and run the
following script in Script Editor then you should get an idea of how
this command works (this is four lines, mind the wrapping):

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theMessage to selection
set connection action of item 1 of theMessage to remove at next connection
end tell

This command would be handy to run as a Rule on incoming messages with
attachments over a certain size so that you don't go over your server
space limit.

Hope this helps!
