Hi Bob,

That's a really good question. I can get lots of material including the id of each message, the address of the sender the count of messages and much more, but I can't work out how to get the message content.

The script below may help you get started. It gets unread messages, but brings them up in the message viewer of mail.

tell application "Mail" to try

tell message viewer 1 to set selected messages to {first message of beginning of (get selected mailboxes) whose read status is false}

activate

on error

beep

end try

Good luck.

I have three .Mac accounts, Grapes,Oranges and Lemons. I would like to AS the following.

1. Select account "Lemons"

2. Build a list that contains the message bodies in that list

For example, if lemons had four emails, whose messages were Green grass, blue skies, yellow daisy and pink panther, respectively, I would like the list to contain

green grass
blue skies
yellow daisy
pink panther

Can anyone give me a kick-start on this?

Thanks
