Entourage: AppleScript to Empty Cache and Sync

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Frequently, Entourage running with Exchange has a habit of having a bit of a hiccup where a folder stops syncing.  A typical solution is to empty the cache for that folder (be it your inbox, contacts, or calendar) and then resync it.  It’s a cumbersome task for an end-user to do.  Sometimes it’s much easier to have them run a simple AppleScript that’s been bundled as an application.  Below is a simple and brief AppleScript that you can copy and paste.  It empties the cache for the calendar and then syncs it again.

tell application “Microsoft Entourage”
empty cache of every calendar of Exchange account 1
sync every calendar of Exchange account 1
end tell
