Can anyone think of how to word a rule to execute a "move read mail" to a
folder on quitting Entourage?

Thanks


you will have to do this with a schedule that runs an applescript.

a script like this will do it:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theAccount to default mail account
set theMessages to every message of folder 1 of theAccount whose read status
is read
move theMessages to folder "Read Mail" of theAccount
end tell

Change the name of the destination folder to whatever is convenient to you;
copy those 5 lines into Script Editor; save the script somewhere convenient
and set it as an action to an 'on quit' schedule.
