Can anyone help with Automator/Scripts with Mail Items

I have a set up a smart folder in mail and it shows about 100 emails. These vary in content, addresses and recipients. The emails also have an extended threads.
I need to generate a report with the emails (including threads) by subject time, date. etc.
It will need to analyse the From: To: Date: Time: Subject: for each of the top email and also (all the threads within each email).
How could Automator be scripted to do such a task. Manually it will be very time consuming and difficult.
1. I am a newbee to automator and scripting is this likely to be beyond me?
2. Are there any good sources of scripts available on the web which could be adapted?
3. What is the recommended reading for writing, applying and using Scripting?

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I was finally able to figue out what to do. So far today everything is fine.
Most Sincerely,
Glenda

    If you simply would have posted here first, there are plenty of people who would have informed you of the current policy to have a data plan active on an account during the entire contract if purchasing a discounted smartphone.
    Unfortunately, there are just as many on here who would claim the people informing you about this policy of being Verizon plants spreading disinformation and trying to make people afraid to upgrade via this route.
    Yes this is a new policy, one which has been pointed out multiple times in these forums.  Good luck, but I doubt you will have an outcome over this which will make you happy.
    Verizon is closing as many loopholes to keep unlimited data as they can.

    You have a set of conflicting widths:

    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul { width: 8.2em;}
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li { width: 13.5em;}

        margin-bottom: 0;
        margin-left: 100%;
        position: absolute;
    So, to translate:
    All list items will be 12 ems wide
    First submenu list (ul) will be 8.2ems wide
    First submenu list items will be 13.5ems wide
    this supersedes the 12ems for all sub and sub-submenu list items
    Sub-submenu lists (ul) will hang off the right side (margin-left: 100%)
    Internet Explorer is interpreting #4 to mean at the right side of the ul (which is at 8.2em)
    Other browsers are interpreting #4 to mean at the right side of the li (which is at 13.5em)
    I believe that is what is happening on your menus.

  • Can anyone help me? Problems with external mixer?

    Hey all,
    First off i would like to say hey to everyone as i am new so i hope someone out there can help me and me likewise in the future.
    Onto my problem. I recently bought an Alesis Multimix 8 USB and i am having a few problems with my iBook recieving the left and right signals from the device. I am currently running it through Ableton Live however when it recognises the mixer it says that there is only one input, the left one.
    For the work i am trying to do i would need the left and right inputs to act as seperate channels into Live. When i first bought the mixer it worked fine and Live read 2 inputs easily however now for some reason it has stopped seeing one.
    I think it may be a problem with the audio software in OS X 3.9 but i am not sure, i am trying to repair what i can however it seems to me that the only option i may have would be reinstalling 3.9 again from scratch.
    If anyone has any ideas about what could be wrong or how to get the 2 inputs back i would be very grateful.
    Please help me as this is driving me mad!
    Cheers
    Jon

    Hi Jon and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I cannot pretend that I know anything about your subject but a couple of non invasive things you can try before resorting to a re-install. (Usually a last resort with Macs).
    1) Have a look at Audio MIDI setup in your Applications>Utilities folder and see if there is a setting there that with resolve your problem.
    2) Create a new user in System Preferences>Accounts.(always a good troubleshooting measure this, whatever the problem). Log out of your own account and into the new. Does the problem persist? If it doesn't there'll probably be a preference file somewhere to do with the device you are using.
    If the problem does persist then it could be the unit itself, the lead (have you tried a different one/port?), or - worst case scenario- a hardware/sw problem with your iBook.
    Not a lot of constructive help, I'm afraid, but some avenues to explore…
    Best of luck,
    Adrian

  • Can anyone help; re: Faxing problems with my 6200 all in one

    Our HP office jet 6210 which we use only for faxing and minor printing intermittenly goes crazy with blinking red and amber lights
    when a fax is being received or when we are sending one.  When the fax fails and we stop the blinking lights, it self tests then turns off.  Sometimes when it does this we get an error message printed that says "Power Failure."  The party being faxed gets 1/2 a fax or 1 page out of 5.  I'll unplug it from the electric and plug it back in and then it will work fine for a day or two.  We have tried faxing from the glass when we have problems and that seems to work when self-feed faing doesn't.  We have not installed any drivers as this is not plugged into a computer but stands alone with it's own designated phone line.
    Any ideas???  The machine is 5 years old and has never given us any trouble until now.  Is it time to upgrade?
    Thanks so very much!!!!
    Joanne

    I have a new photosmart plus printer B209a CD035A and I have never been able to set up the fax, I get a message saying that the phone line is not connected to the modem, the phone is connected to my modem or I would not have an internet connection, perhaps I am not understanding it, I have the printer set up wireless now but it was wired before and I still could not set it up, I purchased it in April this year along with my new desktop Elite HPE-150f model AY603AA,  using windows7 64 bit, now I have a problem with the alignment, all the fonts are cut off down each side which makes it hard to read instructions, can someone give me some help with this. The alignment problem has only just started this past 2 weeks. thanks

  • [SOLVED] command not found - can anyone help a newbie out with this

    Hi everyone,
    Sorry to be asking such basic information, but I hope you can help...
    I just installed Arch...
    I am logged in as root and I get this error:
    # hwd
    -bash: hwd: command not found
    For future reference, how should I go about finding out what package(s) I need to install in order to be able to use a particular command?  (in this case, the hwd command)
    Also, is there some configuration I may need to perform in order to make a particular command work (in this case hwd) ??
    Thank you!

    Thanks!
    Probably the wiki article for Xorg should be updated as it refers the user to use hwd.  I'll see if I can manage to edit it...  I've never edited a wiki before.  I'm learning all sorts of new stuff today :-)

  • Can anyone help that has worked with TMPGenc

    Hi,
    I need to use a program to encode MPEG2 files that compares to TMPGenc 2.5. Is there something I can use on the Mac? I have tried Compressor but I cant seem to select a frame size and as this end result is for cinema, I am at a loss as to what to do. Any ideas?

    Sorry, I also only see standard video sizes.
    You should be looking at something called ffmpeg, then, You can set all parameters for any type of compression. I use VisualHub as a front end for it, though I know there are others.
    In VisualHub you go to the setup for MPEG and do a checkbox for MPEG-2. It's a different panel than the one for DVD compression. I just checked the advanced panel from there, and you can set any frame size you want.
    I can't speak for the results, though.
    1024 x 560 for "cinema"? That's what distribution is asking you for? Seems very low, that's all.

Now at a loss what to do mail box and mac now sooooo slow and cant seem to get rid of deleted mail??? comes up with error from imap server for gmail message to large ..has anybody else had this ?

    If the message is still 'stuck' in your gmail account, you should be able to log into the web service and delete it. Don't know why it won't delete on the Mail side. Quitting Mail should delete the sent msg - don't know why it doesn't.

  • TS2621 I have a gray screen on my ipad 1 when I press the mail icon. Can anyone help?

    I have a gray screen on my ipad 1 when I press the mail icon. This situation just started this morning. Can anyone help?

    Try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Hi when I open iPhoto it's says "What photo library do you want to use" Have I lost all my photos? I don't know what to do here can anyone help please?

    Hi when I open iPhoto it's says "What photo library do you want to use" Have I lost all my photos? I don't know what to do here can anyone help please?

    Is there an item named "iPhoto Library.photo library" or similar in your "Pictures" folder, showing with an icon like a fan of pictures?
    Or did you store your iPhoto Library in a different folder, perhaps on an external drive?
    if you cannot find your iPhoto Library search for it with Find Any File, as described  by Old Toad in this post:
    Re: My iphoto library has disappeared. How do I find it?
    Old ToadFeb 4, 2014 9:05 PM
    Re: My iphoto library has disappeared. How do I find it?in response to onpurpose
    Download and use Find Any File to search for a file named "iPhoto6.Library".  It's a file unique to all iPhoto libraries.
    FAF an search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, packages and system files.  If there's another iPhoto library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

  • HT1277 Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my phone and iPad.  Can anyone help me with this?  Is there a setting I need to check?

    Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my iPhone and iPad. Can anyone help me with this?  Is there a setting that I need to check?

    All that you had to do was to sign into the old account in order to update those apps. What I mean is that you just needed to sign into that account in the store settings like I described and that should have worked. You didnt need to enter the credit card information again - you justed needed to use the old ID and password.
    Anyway, I think the good news is that if everything else is OK with the new account, just download iBooks with the new ID - it's a free app so its not like you have to pay for it again. I'm not sure what the other App is that you are talking about - but if it is the Apple Store App - that is free as well.
    Try this anyway, when you try to update iBooks, just use the old password if the old ID still pops up.
    Did you try signing into the store settings with your new ID and see what happens with the updates then?
