Product Description:

This is a simple AppleScript for Entourage X that takes the selected email, moves it to the trash and deletes it completely.
It may not sound like much, but If you're like me, I archive everything (including my trash). When it comes to spam and some other types of email (like pics and other attachments), I don't even want them or their attachments taking up space in my archives. In other words, there's a difference to me between trashed emails and spam. Since Entourage X doesn't differentiate, I wrote this script.
This script will ask if you're sure you want to completely delete the selected files, and if you click OK, it'll do just what it says.
To install, toss this file into your "Documents: Microsoft User Data: Entourage Script Menu Items" folder and restart Entourage, and it will appear under your Scripts menu in Entourage.
Note: Any deleted files (even deleted out of the trash) will still take up space. That space can only be recovered by rebuilding the database. (Command-Option while launching Entourage X). Something I do every few weeks or so, anyway.

Delete Completely for Entourage X Reviewdoes not do what it says - Version: 1.0, 5/4/2005 06:48PM PST

I tested this script by permanently deleting email in Entourage then going to the database file and opening it with text edit and searching for the email. It is still in the database. Then I did another test of deleting another email, then rebuilding the database, then searching it and still found the email. Last test, delete an email, and advanced rebuild repair on the database and then ran it through text edit and still found the email.
CONCLUSION: this script is a complete joke! Don't waste your time!

note that, contrary to the assertion in this app's description, the key to rebuild Entourage X's database at startup is Option - not Command-Option. not that it makes a big hooey of a difference... :)
