Additional criteria and more actions. Run an AppleScript, act only on senders that are in Address Book, and automatically flag messages. You can use multiple critera to get even more sophisticated."

I had taken the above quote to mean that one can "run an AppleScript" as the action associated with a rule, as in Outlook Express. In fact, I can't see any other way to interpret the above; but there seems to be no way to do this (nothing in the dictionary seems to allow it, nor does the application UI). I've been hoping I hosed my installation somehow (I have a "non-standard" Mail configuration), but I'm beginning to suspect that the feature never shipped.

No M$ applications on my disk (that I know about) so I'm taking that it coordinates with "Perform the following actions" in the Rules of Mail preferences (and not arbitrary scripts to be executed as a rule).


Adding a line to set "transfer message" gives me an NSUnknownKeyScriptError. I assume that's what you're seeing.

Yes, but I've got it working now. Should be:


set transfer message to a reference to mailbox "box" of application "Mail"

or

set transfer message to a reference to mailbox "boxfolder/box" of application "Mail"
