I created an applescript to interact with Outlook messages that I'm launching with a hot key in a workflow as an osascript:
on run {}
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
-- listSelectedItems : a list of all items selected in Entourage
set listMessages to current messages
-- Check to make sure items are selected, if not then quit
if ((count of listMessages) < 1) then return
repeat with eachMessage in listMessages
move eachMessage to folder "Local Archive"
end repeat
end tell
end run
The script archives the messages as designed, but it pops the Alfred window each time. I didn't have this problem in v1 with an applescript.
