| I am scritping mail and would like to specify a try block but need a time limit.
Here is my script. I have numbered the lines for reference.
1-tell application "Mail"
2-if not (exists some message viewer) then make new message viewer
3-set selected mailboxes of message viewer 1 to {mailbox "Valid By Subject" of account "TEC Requests"}
4-tell message viewer 1 5-set theMessages to the content of every message as string 6-end tell
7-end tell
This all works OK as long as there is some content in that specified mailbox, or as long as the servers arent slow or down.
Can I surround any or all of these statements with try--end trys and a timer? My issues occurs when statements 4 thru 6 are waiting for mail to respond. I would like to put a time limit on that area and exit with a different path if there is a time out. Hope this all makes sense to someone who is a lot smarter than me
Thanks
Bob Cuilla Orlando
