misplaced emails

I recently moved my entourage settings over to a laptop and the rules got bungled up. some of the emails seemed to end up in the contacts folder and calendar folder. (At least there are bold numbers in parentheses to the right of them. I've fixed the rules but how do I get them out, and into a folder that I can see?

See if this script will help.

Diane, thanks much for the help on this. So what do I do with it? I unzipped it and double-clicked it and got an error message. It was a run only program but doesn't seem to run. I can't seem to open it in Apple Scripts or text edit. Thanks.

Place it in the Entourage Script Menu Items folder. In Entourage you can
then select the script and it will run. If I remember correctly, it creates
a folder and moves all the messages to this folder.

I haven't seen this error since the beta. I'm not sure this script will
still work.

You are correct run only scripts can't be opened, but they will work from
the Script Menu Items folder.
