well I still can't get entourage 2004 to work, so in the meantime I am
tinkering with the current X system...

...I have all my emails in separate mailboxes, one for each person/jobs etc.
all my mail is auto moved to its appropriate folder on receipt

I like the 'bolding' of headers to indicate new mail in a folder, and the
right-click capacity of the mail icon to show folders with new mail

but, when a new mail comes in, I would like its folder to open and come to
the front, separately in each instance, just like they did in eudora... I
can't seem to find a preference for this

does anyone know a rule or script that will automatically do this to all new
mail?

I was going to say...

Sounds like you would make a perfect Eudora candidate!
