Entourage 2008 : applescript for Filing Emails into folders?

Hi all,
I run a script that archives all emails that are older than 4 weeks into an Archive Folder in "On My Computer" in Entourage.
I'm wondering is it possible to to the following via apple script for Entourage 2008:
In the Archive folder, within each email find the senders email address. Then create a sub-folder (if it doesn't exist) with that senders domain as the name of the folder (eg if sender address was "[email protected]", it could create a folder called "customer.com" or "customer_com".
Then move that email into that folder.
if it can be done, this would save me a huge amount of time sorting old emails into subfolders for each customer.
many thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

I'm glad it did import. We've had several users that it simply refused to import an Entourage X Identity. BTW, using category colors is never remembered. It's one of the little hidden gems that you can use. Speaking of hidden gems, be sure to enable in the Entourage Address Book the First Name, Last Name columns and get rid of the old Name column. Finally real sorting.

When you clicked to resolve, this did not delete the older Microsoft fonts. I suggest that you remove those. Users have reported they were activated again.
This shouldn't be a problem for you since you moved to a new computer and didn't install Office X, but older versions of Office install the Microsoft fonts in the User's Library/Fonts folder. Anyone with older fonts here should delete them.
BTW, Office can run without any of it's installed fonts. A few of it's menus might look a bit funky, but it's ok to remove all if you want to test.

Unable to drag and drop emails into folders

Since updating to iCloud/ios5 I am unable drag and drop emails into folders I have set up. Additionally, if I right mouse click and say 'Move to' it takes four or five times of selecting a folder for the emails to actually move. Suggestions?

Thanks, Linc. As a Mac user since the 80s, relaunch/reboot is always the first thing I try, and yes, that usually fixes many issues :-) But not this one. That being said, the Mac, she is a mysterious thing... I did relaunch/reboot yesterday afternoon to no avail. Shut down completely last night, rebooted this morning... Still didn't work....and then this afternoon, because it is habit, I grabbed an email to file and voilà ~ it is now working again. I am stumped as to what that was all about... Thank you for the reply.

How do I file email into folders?

Hi,
How do I create and file emails into folders?
I've created a "Smart Mailbox" (whatever that is, lol) and tried to drag emails into that folder but it doesn't work. When I click on the email and want to move it, nothing shows up to move it to: including the smart mailbox that was created.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lee

it is creating an alias in that smart mailbox
I have heard this statement before, but it is not true. A message in a Smart Mailbox (or a file in a Smart Folder in the Finder) is not an alias. It is simply the same original in a different context.
An alias, in Mac OS terminology, is a separate and distinct file from the original. It is a file whose property is that, when opened, it redirects and opens a different file (the "original"). But the alias itself is a distinct file. It can be renamed, moved, deleted, labeled, etc., without having any effect on the original. None of this is true of the "contents" of a Smart Mailbox/Folder. If you delete a message in a Smart Mailbox, you are deleting the original message. If you drag the message to a (non-Smart) Mailbox, you are moving the original. Some people seem to be confused that a message (or file) can appear to be in more than one place at a time. It is, nevertheless, the exact same message, and misunderstanding this point could have unfortunate consequences.

How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

You can sort by using the search feature. When you are in your mail account you use the search bar at the top to find emails from a particular sender (there are Other options as well in search). Type in that sender's address. When the emails show up in the window on the left side, select all of the emails that you want to move. Tap Edit at the bottom and the Move Folder icon will appear. Tap that icon and select the folder that you want to move the emails into.
To move multiple emails without using the search to sort, go to your inbox and tap Edit. Then select all of the emails that you want to move. After you are done selecting them, tap the Move icon at the bottom on the left side of the account window. When you tap move, you get a choice of folder into which you can place the selected emails.

Can't move email into folders

I archive my sent emails into dedicated folders in one year increments. That is, I have a dedicated folder for email I sent in 2011, another one for 2010 and so on. This week I tried to move some sent emails into a folder dedicated to 2009 and prior. Every time I try to do this, I get a message that the emails can't be moved; regardless of whether I try to move 100 at a time or 10 at a time.
I'd like to export these older sent emails into an Mbox (they're taking up a LOT of space).Any ideas? Thanks!

I can't find a permission setting that would only allow a single file to be moved to a folder
Don't know if you already tried but use a check and repair permissions on your Mac using either Apple Disk Utility (applications / utilities) or a third party like Cocktail.
If still the same happens restart bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences.
When the problem still exist please provide more details about OS and Bridge versions as well as computer specs.

When i moved emails into folders on my ipad and went to retrieve them later they were deleted

I use yahoo for my email account and have this acocunt set up on my ipad. I have folders that I use. When I moved emails into a folder on my ipad and went to retrieve them at a later date they were deleted. I accessed my yahoo account from my computer and they weren't there. When I opened the folder on my ipad the email was there for a second and then it checked for updates and the emails disappeared.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
iCloud doesn't back up your emails on iCloud. If you have Mail turned on in Settings > iCloud, it just means that you are using your @icloud.com or @me.com mail account on the iPad. In this case, all the mails you receive onto the iCloud mail address are stored on iCloud. iCloud uses IMAP, so if you delete a mail from one device or computer, it will be deleted from all other computers and devices. Unfortunately, you can't recover emails

Why can't i put my emails into folders

why can't i put my emails into folders

You must have an IMAP email accounts in order to create additional folders in the mail app on the iPad. There is now way to create folders locally like you can on a computer if you are using a POP email account.
If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

How can I get imported Outlook email into folders in mail?

I am a longtime PC user with email and calendar in MS Outlook (finally) converting to an iMac. I used the Migration Assistant to transfer my old PC email to new iMAC running OSX Lion via ethernet. On the old PC, I have ~15 years of stored emails in a *.pst file, organized by folders. I want to retain that file structure to organize older email (but retain it on hard drive for later access) in mail on the iMac. For example, I get an email confirmation of an online order, I move it to a folder called "Money" in case I have any problems with the item or need ot figure out how long since I purchased something for warranty. After the migration I have 1,984 messages in my inbox on the iMac.
Two apparent problems:
1) Everything is in one folder. I don't want to have to refile all this stuff again. How do I get an intact folder structure imported to iMac email from Outlook 2000 *.pst file?
2) I don't think the migration moved everything form the old pst. It took more than inbox, but not enough to be all the emails. To avoid duplications, should I scrub the iMAC mail clean before any steps to achieve 1 above? If so how do I remove the emil imported the first try to iMac?
Be gently, true newbie status here. Learning the iMac slowly - but can't go for long without email.....

Hi. I have a similar issue. Migration assistant seems to have pulled in all my email accounts (6) correctly and also the mails that were sat in those inboxes. However, the entire folder structure (where I would drag and drop) has not migrated and nor (it seems) the email contained within. I also have a .pst (which is not corrupted on the PC) and is not huge. So I would like to move all my history across. I don't particularly care about the folder structure but I do, of course, want all of my history transferred.
Is there any easy way to do this? Otherwise all I can think of is moving all emails on my PC from the folders to an inbox in Outlook, unarchiving the .pst emails and then doing the email migration all over again.
Thanks for any help.

Does business catalyst offer a solution for capturing emails into a database?

I have a simple sp;ash page built with MUSE. All it is is an email field. When the visitors submits their email; I want it to go directly into a database for me to use later.
Is there a simple solution to this?

Hi there,
from the above mentioned possibilites, I'm sure that Post Affiliate Pro integrates with Adobe Business Catalyst. It is PHP based as well.
Here's a guide on how to integrate Post Affiliate Pro with BC: http://addons.qualityunit.com/integration-methods/_ibusinesscatalyst/?_ga=1.184847597.5565 5338.1423821510

Applescript for "remove email copies from server"

I have an email POP account which I use on several computers as well as my cell phone.
I'm looking for an applescript which I could place on the desktop of my primary computer which essentially performs the action located @ accounts> advanced> remove copies from server>"remove now" so that I could delete the emails I've already reviewed from my server before having them picked up by my other computers and phone.
Anyone seen something like this?

Is there an applescript command that will delete a message from the server.
I have a lot of rules that route my emails when they come in but I do not want to delete them from the server when they are moved from the inbox. This allows me to rout my messages on my desktp and still recieve them on my iphone.
However I do want to delete any messages "from the server" that are routed to my junk mail. This will save me from having to deal with them on my iphone and since they are in my junk I can look there if I suspect a false positive.
Is there any such ability with applescript?

Applescript for Reading Email to me

I want a script that will take my gmail account, find new emails, and read them to me using the "say" function and not display anything on the screen. Is that possible?

Also I have this code:
display dialog "Enter Mailbox To Check:" default answer ""
set s to text returned of result
if s = "Inbox" then s = "INBOX"
tell application "Mail"
          set unreadMessages to (get every message of mailbox (s) of account "Gmail" whose read status is false)
          repeat with eachMessage in unreadMessages
                    say "Subject."
                    say (get subject of eachMessage)
                    say "Message."
                    say (get content of eachMessage)
                    set read status of eachMessage to true
          end repeat
end tell
I don't think this:
if s = "Inbox" then s = "INBOX"
is working though. If I put in "Inbox" I want it to switch it to "INBOX" instead so it'll tell me his inbox. Thanks!
