Delete “Untitled” Categories in Entourage
Due to Microsoft Entourage’s poor implementation of a script I wrote, I ended up with over 200 Categories named “Untitled”. Since the GUI will only let you delete one category at a time, I came up with an AppleScript solution:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theCategories to every category
repeat with theCat in theCategories
if name of theCat is "Untitled" then delete theCat
end repeat
end tell

Thanks for posting this. SpamSeive created around 1900 categories, which when I removed SS, were all left with the name “Uncertain Junk”!
I really wasn’t looking forward to deleting them all one at a time!
Thanks again.
