Hi – any ideas on writing a similar script for MS Entourage?

Thanks!

It sounds like your incoming mail server is (and/or configured as) IMAP and you have forgotten to specify an IMAP path prefix in advanced settings. If my guess is correct, all of your deleted mails must be resurrecting not just deleted / bounced back spam.

Go to Mail Preferences > Accounts select the mail account in question and then switch to the Advanced tab and type “INBOX” (or whatever your ISP requires) in the field labeled IMAP Path prefix. This should do the trick.

Hi, I did it exactly as you instructed here, but there seems to be a problem. I can bounce emails the way you said, but every time I relaunch Mail, the bounced emails reappear! Can you please tell me how to fix this? (I’m using Mail 5.2 in Mac OS X 10.7.3)

Good for those of us who are struggling with spam, bad for the fact that spammers could find out about such tools and get “immune” to such measures

There is an iPhone App now that allows you to bounce emails.
