Mike,
Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for.
As I mentioned, I have a program that downloads my Yahoo! mail from the
web site. In short, it logs onto the web site and parses the HTML
documents and saves each message into a standard mbox format file.
What I figured out is that I can set up a dummy e-mail account in
Mail.app to store these messages. So currently I have an account called
email@hidden in Mail.app which is only a container for my Yahoo!
mail since it doesn't have a pop account configured and it is set to
never check for mail. I have configured the program I use to download
messages to ~/Library/mail/email@hidden/INBOX.mbox/mbox.
Additionally, there is another perl script included with the program
that latches onto a POP request to a real mail account and runs the
perl script at that time. What I'm getting at is the following: If I
have Mail.app open when this program writes to my mbox file, it doesn't
automatically update Mail.app because Mail.app has no idea that
activity is happening with the mailbox file so it doesn't reindex and
display the messages. The only way I've figured out how to do this is
to close the Mail.app window and open it again. Which can get annoying
quickly.
I wanted to write a little applescript that will tell Mail.app to
reindex the email@hidden folder in the "In" box automatically.
There's an option in the program configuration to run a command when
you've received mail, so I thought it'd be the perfect solution.
The program is called YoSucker and can be downloaded at the following
address:
http://yosucker.sourceforge.net/
I have written a StartupItems script to start the YoPop daemon which I
can send anyone who is interested; just send me an e-mail and I will
forward it to you.
If anyone has any ideas about how to solve this problem, please let me
know. I would greatly appreciate it. (*^ ^*)
Thanks!
Ed

Ed,
Good question. Have you tried an "import" of mbox files directly? I
did that when moving from Eudora on Win98 to mail and it worked like a
charm.
BTW: What's the program? Sounds nice and juicy.

Hi Everyone!
Does anyone know how to tell mail.app to reindex the contents of the
INBOX? I am using a program to download my Yahoo mail into a "dummy"
account I created, but when new mail is written to the file mail.app
isn't aware of it so I have to close the window and open it up again
to see if there was any new mail. I've searched everywhere and cannot
find a way to tell mail.app to do it automatically. Does anyone have
any ideas?
Thanks!
Ed
