New Identity and resend script stopped working.

10. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
I have the following script that worked fine in an other identity but not in a new one.  Anybody has a clue.

I either get a message: Microsoft Outlook got an error: can't make a class outgoing message

or 

The script acts only on already send messages

Here is the script.


-- Resend Message v1.0 (2010-10-27)

-- an applescript by Barry Wainwright <mailto:*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>

-- Restores the 'Resend' function that was in Entourage but never made it to Outlook

-- when the script is run, with a sent message selected or open, a new copy of the 

--    message will be created, with all the original recipients and attachements and 

--    from the correct sending account.
