There is no way to control this. If you use the" Move To" icon that allows
for easier moving. You can also use scripts to move your mail. I have a
few
set up for my most used folders with a shortcut assigned. How many you do
depends on your memory. :-)
Here is an example of a script that moves messages to a folder ³Read Mail²
that is a subfolder of the Inbox. I have a folder in my Entourage Scripts
folder named ³Move², inside are scripts that move to specific folders.
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
try
set theMessages to current messages
on error
display dialog "select some messages before running this script."
buttons {"Quit Script"} default button 1 with icon stop
return
end try
try
move theMessages to folder "read mail" of folder "inbox"
on error
display dialog "An error occurred and the messages were not moved.
Does the folder\"read\" exist?" buttons {"Quit Script"} default button 1
with icon stop
return
end try
repeat with aMessage in theMessages
set the read status of aMessage to read
end repeat
end tell
If you have trouble copying this script from the forum, you might want to
subscribe to this newsgroup with Entourage so you can view it in HTML that
will not break the script. The Forum strips out HTML.

With one or more messages selected, this lets you type in a few characters
of a folder's name and moves the messages to that folder. If the match is
inconclusive, it presents a listing of the folders with the first match
selected and lets you select the one you want. Remembers last folder
picked
for fast repeat operations. Shortcut assigned: Cmd-****ft-M, and typing the
folder name, will accomplish ALMOST the same thing, and about in the same
time.)
