TO CREATE AN AUTO-ARCHIVE SCHEDULE

Save AutoArchive AppleScript to your Microsoft User Data folder: Entourage Script Menu Items.

1. Menu path: Tools/Schedules
2. New button
3. Name “AutoArchive”

When “Timed Occurrence” — I set mine to every night at 3 AM

Action “Run AppleScript” — set the saved script as the action script

Thats it

As long as Entourage is running each night, this script will kick-off an archive your messages to a local folder. If you dont leave Entourage running, you could choose to just run the script whenever necessary.

You may modify two variables within the script:

1. ArchiveFolderName : the name of the folder archive trees spaw within.
2. Defaults to Archives.

This image gives you an idea of how an archive folder tree is created.

ArchiveAgeCriteria : the age, in days, to determine a message should be archived. Defaults to 60 days.

In order to search using Spotlight, be sure Spotlight is enabled.
