Hallo cricket,
thanks for your help.
I tried your script as follows:
set c to 1
tell application "Mail"
set theMessage to message c of mailbox "backmails" of account
"Personal Mailboxes"
set y to content of theMessage
set c to c + 1
end tell
Each time i run the script "mail" crashes and i get the message:
the program mail unexpectedly stopped .
After this mail starts again and shows the errormessage: Can't get
content of themessage.
Do you have any ideas what i can do ?
In Mail, all mailboxes belong to accounts, so that's part of the
problem. Also, not everything you're trying to do here is possible in
Mail yet, like the opening of messages in the UI or deleting messages.
But, this script should work for you:
tell application "Mail"
set theMessage to first message of mailbox "backmails" of account
"Personal Mailboxes"
set y to content of theMessage
end tell
This will set y to the content of the first message in this particular
mailbox.
Are there anywhere samplescripts how to work with 'mail' ?
There are some samples scripts on your boot volume here:
/Applications/AppleScript/Example Scripts/Mail
Of course i found them, but there are only two examples, without any
example how to delete, open or handle single messages.
Do you know whether in future in will be possible to do this with
"mail" ?
Thanks for any help.
Gerd
