I’m not sure how much help this will be, but FWIW this is a script which is run
from a 4D database to retrieve all emails from Amazon since a certain date so
the purchases can be extracted by code within the database. It works, which is
probably all that can be said for it; but what more do you need?
Jeremy
-- return body text of amazon messages since supplied date, separated by
xxxxx<date> lines
on run argv
set {fromdate} to argv
set fromdate to date (fromdate)
try
tell application "Mail"
set acc to some account whose account type is iCloud
and name is "iCloud"
set box to acc's mailbox "Misc/Amazon"
set msgs to messages of box whose (date received is
greater than fromdate) and ((sender contains "auto-confirm") or (sender
contains "digital-no-reply"))
set msgText to ""
repeat with msg in msgs
set msgDate to msg's date sent
tell msgDate
set msgStr to (its day) & "/" & (its
month as integer) & "/" & (its year) as string
end tell
set msgText to msgText & "xxxxx" & msgStr &
return
set msgText to msgText & msg's content
end repeat
end tell
on error errText
set msgText to "Error in getAmazonEmails script:" & return &
return & errText
end try
return msgText
end run
