Hello Kel,
I have this script that works correctly.
Note however, that I checked messages by date, because the list of messages to
check is longer, and it takes more time to run it.
Also, I used your script as basis and took only the first message of the bunch.
If you want to go to all, you would have to use a repeat statement and a System
Events action on the Finder window.
Here it is:
<script>
set yesterday to (current date) - 1 * days
--return yesterday
tell application "Mail"
activate
--iterate over items within the mailbox
set msgs to (get every message of mailbox "INBOX" of account "Gmail"
whose date received > yesterday)
set msg to item 1 of msgs
open msg
end tell
tell application "System Events"
set frontmost of process "Mail" to true
tell process "Mail"
tell menu bar 1 to tell menu "File" to tell menu item "Export
as PDF…" to click
end tell
end tell
</script>
Best, be safe, wear mask, get vaccinated and keep social distance.
