Anyone know where the cache for Entourage hides in the system?
We are about to move several dozen users to a new mailserver and the
cleanest way to ensure they don't see inconsistencies it to get them
to Empty Cache. The problem is, some of the users will ignore the
request to do such a simple thing, I'd much rather have an
AppleScript application go to them after the move that does it on its
own.
Any ideas on how to get AppleScript to empty the cahces?
This should do what you want assuming you only have one Exchange account
configured in Entourage:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
empty cache of every folder of Exchange account 1
end tell
Hope this helps!
sorry Bill, but that will only empty the cache in the top level folders
- not in any subfolders.
this script will recursively work its way down the folder hierarchy,
emptying caches as it goes.
I haven't tested it, as I don't want the cache emptied on mny 2Gb
exchange account!
