Delete Mail Messages - AppleScript?


  • Subject: Delete Mail Messages - AppleScript?
  • From: Greg Campbell <email@hidden>

Hello everyone.  Would appreciate some assistance here...

I have an automated workflow where iCal launches three separate automator applications each hour that 1) check mail in three separate accounts, 2) grab the PDF attachment from each of those messages found in each of those accounts, 3) converts PDF to JPEG, 4) uploads to a directory via FTP that then displays those images as a gallery. There are other parts of the process that handle the file management on my local computer (moving the converted files around, etc).

The biggest issue for me is that there are SO many files since I can only set Mail to delete messages older than 1 day. What I really want to do is create some sort of script (Automator or AppleScript directly) that will run as an iCal alarm hourly ... Open Mail, delete all messages, and close Mail again ... then when the original processes happen they will get the newest/latest three messages and run those through the process detailed above. This would save sooo much time, processor, and BANDWIDTH. Yikes.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Greg Campbell
