This has been driving me nuts for a long time and I finally figured out the applescript for this so I figured I should share.

The script is:

set archiveFolderName to "@Archive"
set exchangeAccount to "My Exchange Email"

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
	repeat with msg in (get current messages)
		move msg to folder archiveFolderName in Exchange account exchangeAccount
	end repeat
end tell

This script assumes you have an exchange account and a folder in that exchange account you want to use.

If you want to use an archive folder that is a subfolder of another folder, you’ll want to tweak the script to say something like “to folder archiveFolderName in folder parentFolderName in Exchange account exchangeAccount” and add a parentFolderName variable to the top of the script.

Now all you have to do is save the script in: “~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu Items/Archive\cA”

This will put it in your script menu and set the keystroke ctrl+a to “Archive”.

Enjoy!

I really like the “Pro” color scheme for Terminal.app but I hate how hard it is to read the bold colors. By complete accident however, I came across this Options Page in Terminal.app:

Apparently, you can just click that “Use bright colors for bold text” checkbox and all of a sudden typing things like ls is no longer painful.

Just thought I’d share the tip.

This is a SIMBL plugin for Terminal.app on Leopard that lets you name your tabs. Because this is an Alpha, I am not going to write up instructions on where to get SIMBL, how to install it, or how to install the bundle. If you don’t already know how, then Alpha software is not for you.

That said, after installing the plugin, press Command+Shift+T to name a tab (or use the Name Tab option under the View menu).

NOTE: This has only been tested on Intel Macs with the latest version of SIMBL. If you have a PowerPC and it works for you, I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

Also, due to the nature of me giving this away for free, I cannot guarantee it won’t harm your computer, nor can I promise it will fix your marriage. This is for use AT YOUR OWN RISK. I wash my hands completely of responsibility.

Enjoy!
