Mail Apple Script

I need to Apple Script so mail closes at login and doesn't stay open. I lost it somehow. Anyone have it?

To hide Mail when it is open:
tell application "System Events"
set visible of process "Mail" to false
end tell
To quit Mail:
tell application "Mail"
quit
end tell
A delay statement, such as 'delay 2', can be placed at the beginning of each script if the event is being triggered too fast. In any case, put the script text into the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder, save it as an application, and add the script to the list of login items for your account in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.

Apple Script: Incoming Mail - bigger Text with Rule

Salve!
Have some Problems to create an Apple Script. At first - some Mail Accounts from Incoming Mails in Apple Mail App (Mountain Lion) are very fine with Font Size. Some Mail looks like Font Size 6 in the Inbox. Ok, i can size the Font higher with CMD and + ... but it is manual... i dont like this workaround.
So i create an new Rule in Mail App - Incoming Mail from XYZ and then start this Apple Script XYZ...
But i am an beginer with Apple Script and it will not work. Can you please help me? I will start the Script with Apple Rule. And the Script must formated the new incomming Mail with Font Size 12 (or 14... or... Number is only one Number)...
Can you help me please?

Launch Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app and see if the undocumented defaults setting defaults write com.apple.mail MinimumHTMLFontSize 12 (that's mentioned here) works for you. That example sets the minimum font size to 12. You might need to restart mail after the change; I haven't used this setting in a while.

Apple script for Message box when Mail app Compose Window Opens

Hi there
I'm trying to make mail app remind me to choose the right emaill address to send from since I have several email addresses. Is there a way I can make or write an apple script for a message box to pop up whenever mail app's compose window opens up.
I can do for the case when I actally click the compose button when I'm on mail app by using UI scripting. But when it comes to hyperlinks which opens up the compose window, it fails.
I just want a script to see whether the compose window is open and if open pop up a message box.
Thanks
Best regards

I think yes. The encoding is being corrupted somewhere, probably Exchange. There is nothing you can change on the iPad other than the OS languagel, to see if that helps. You can also tell Apple at

An apple script that saves mail attachments no longer works in lion

In my mail rules, I have been using an apple script, which, if the sender belongs to a certain group, saves any attached files to a special folder I have for attachments from that group. After installing Lion, It performs other parts of my rule (plays a sound, for instance and moves the mesage to a special mailbox, for another), but it FAILS now to save the attachment using the script below. I hope someone knows of a workaround. If not, I hope apple will fix this soon. Here's the script--
using terms from application "Mail"
    on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
        tell application "Mail"
            repeat with oneMessage in theMessages
                set {mail attachment:theAttachments} to oneMessage
                repeat with oneAttachment in mail attachments of oneMessage
                    save oneAttachment in ("i828:Users:i8:Desktop:Poker Player:PPlayattach2") & (name of oneAttachment)
                end repeat
            end repeat
        end tell
    end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from

This worked brilliantly!

How do I install and apple script in mail

I am using dreamhost as my ISP. I am getting killed with spam and the have a script. I found out how to add the script via the rules function, but, how do you store the script in the location you need to retreive it from. there I can't find info. Can someone give me steps please? Do you make a text file, etc?

Select Mail Help from Mail's Help menu. Search for "install apple script."
Use scripts as rule actions
You can attach a script to a Mail rule. For example, you could have an incoming message trigger a script that copies information from the message and pastes it into a database that works with AppleScript.
Open Mail
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Rules.
Add a rule or select an existing rule to edit.
Choose Run AppleScript from the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu.
Choose a script from the pop-up menu of scripts that are located in ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail. Or choose “Open in Finder” to open the folder so you can copy a script into it.If you later move or rename the script, your rule will not work.
Click OK to save the rule.
If you used scripts in Mail rules in OS X Lion or earlier, then the first time you open Mail in OS X Mountain Lion or later, your scripts are moved to ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail, and your rules are updated with the new location. To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in Finder choose Go > Library.
If you use iCloud Documents & Data, your rules are available on your other Mac computers (with OS X 10.8 or later) that have iCloud Documents & Data turned on. Scripts attached to rules aren’t available.

Apple Script For Opening External EML File With Apple Mail

Hi folks,
   I am working with Apple Script for implementing numerous function related to Mail App.
  I am using the following Apple Script lines for opening the mails which are in Mail app for each modes.
  View Mode : open theMsg 
Reply View Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes 
Reply All Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes reply to all yes 
Forward Mode : forward theMsg opening window yes   
I want to know how we can open external eml file in different view modes (View, Reply, Reply All and Forward) using Apple Script or Apple Event programmatically with a similar mechanism available through script in Mail App. 
 Thanks in advance.  Regards
 Nisar

I'm not sure what you're doing here, but this isn't anything I recognize as compilable applescript. what is this 'mode' thing you're talking about.
at any rate, if you have a loose emlx file sitting around somewhere you can simply open it in mail (use the 'open' command and the file specification for the emlx file) and work with it appropriately. if you're talking about an actual eml file (e.g. from Outlook Express) you'd have to GUI script Mail's 'import mailbox' command (the applescript handler for importing mail only works with Mail.app mailboxes)

Sending email using apple script...

I have created a watch folder using apple script that when a file is dropped on it, it automatically opens, formats, and sends out a custom email.
What I don't understand is, how can I include multiple variables in the "content" section (also known as the body section of the email)? I want to put custom type in the content section that says "There is a file awaiting your review." I also would like to choose an email signature from my mail program to use. Third, I would like to include the name of the file that is being sent....
I found that by doing {content:iteminfo} I could get the file name...If I do {content:"There is a file awaiting your review."} I could get the custom type I wanted....
BUT, I can't figure out how to get BOTH of them together in ADDITION to adding a custom email signature...
I know there are some really smart people out there...Any tips?

I can't figure out how to get BOTH of them together
This is just standard AppleScript text concatenation with the &:
... {content: "There is a file awaiting your review: " & iteminfo}
Here you can see I'm concatenating a literal string (enclosed in quotes) and a variable. You can extend this ad infinitum.
As for the signature:
tell theMessage to set message signature to signature "My Sig"
(which assumes you have a signature named 'My Sig'. Adjust as necessary.

Can Apple Script or Automator handle large client email tasks?

Hi,
I am a relatively new Mac user but currently work on a MacBook and Imac G5 with 10.4.9. I have a client list of approxamitely 900 people and I want to send an email to all 900 announcing a change in product services. Is there an Apple Script or automator script (or somewhere I could go to purchase one) that will allow me to import my name and email list in .csv or excel format and then send a slightly customized email to all. I just want the subject line and greeting to the email to include their first name so it looks as if I have taken the time to send them a personal email.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

Selecting Different Printer With Apple Script.

Hi,
I am currently in the process of making a script to be able to print off labels without the need of much user input (read from a document or e-mail) and I want to be able to set the printer when it goes to the print screen.
this is the final apple script step in the application cmd+p brings up the 1st print menu the return takes it to the second print menu cmd+v pastes predifind by the user the ammount of copys they want
on run {input, parameters}
          tell application "Labels & Addresses"
activate
                    tell application "System Events"
keystroke "p" using command down
                              delay 1
keystroke return
                              delay 1
keystroke "v" using command down
                              delay 1
                              tell application "System Events"
                                        tell process "Labels & Addresses"
                                                  click (menu item whose description is "Printer")
                                                  click (menu item "Zebra Technologies ZTC GK420t" whose description is "Printer")
                                        end tell
                              end tell
                              return input
                    end tell
          end tell
end run
now there is chance to change the printer selection twice once in the 1st print screen and once in the 2nd print screen the only problem is im not sure how to apple script to select the right printer from the drop down menu, I got the code from a forum but I think it was old code as when I tested it it was returning errors so I modified it a bit and now it just struggles finding the menu item with description of printer.
Does anyone know what I would have to use for it to select the right printer? (The Zebra Technologies ZTC GK420t)
Help would be greatly appricited!
Thanks,
Bruce
P.S. sorry the code is a bit messy!

Im NOT sure if you have just made this a little over complicated… This works just fine for me. Tested with about a dozen psd layers…
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell active document
tell rectangle 1
tell graphic 1
tell graphic layer options
set GLC to count of graphic layers
repeat with i from 1 to GLC
if name of graphic layer i ≠ "Blue" then
set current visibility of graphic layer i to false
else
set current visibility of graphic layer i to true
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
This variant also works as I would have expected too… Retaining visibility from a list…
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell active document
tell rectangle 1
tell graphic 1
tell graphic layer options
set On_List to {"Red", "Aqua", "Orange"}
set GLC to count of graphic layers
repeat with i from 1 to GLC
if name of graphic layer i is not in On_List then
set current visibility of graphic layer i to false
else
set current visibility of graphic layer i to true
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

Email Scheduler Now Works! (Apple Script!)

Hey everyone,

Removing BCC with Apple Script when automatically BCC myself is set in pref

I have "Automatically Bcc myself" set in the Mail Composing preferences, which I like because I get a copy of email that I send. I also have an apple script that forwards messages to an email address. When I used this apple script on Tiger, the BCC option was never added (it might have been a bug with Mail in Tiger); however, now on Leopard, the BCC option is always added when I used the apple script.
I've tried setting the BCC field to Null and Blank, but that doesn't seem to work. I suspect that the field is set upon send or the "make new" directive. Does anyone know a way to tell Mail to not Bcc automatically in an Apple Script?
Here is the forward apple script program:
(* Cf. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060219014940761 *)
(* RS 31st July 2006 *)
set theAuthority to "person AT here"
tell application "Mail"
set theMessages to the selection
repeat with thisMessage in theMessages
set newMessage to make new outgoing message at end of outgoing messages
tell newMessage
set visible to true (* comment out whole line to stop 'blinking' windows *)
set content to thisMessage's source
set subject to "Fwd: " & thisMessage's subject
set bcc to null (* my attempt to set bcc to null or blank *)
make new to recipient with properties {address:theAuthority}
end tell
send newMessage
set read status of thisMessage to true
set was forwarded of thisMessage to true
set junk mail status of thisMessage to true
end repeat
end tell

Thanks for that reply!
After more google searching, I found this on http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040425063255443
One of the responses said that you can add the lines:
delete bcc recipients
delete cc recipients
"in that order" to the new message tell and get rid of the recipients. I had tried the delete before, but I thought I had to get the recipients before I deleted them. I'm not a very good apple script person. Here is my final script
(* Cf. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060219014940761 *)
(* RS 31st July 2006 *)
set theAuthority to "email address here"
(* or your personal Knujon address *)
tell application "Mail"
set theMessages to the selection
repeat with thisMessage in theMessages
set newMessage to make new outgoing message at end of outgoing messages
tell newMessage
set visible to false (* comment out whole line to stop 'blinking' windows *)
set content to thisMessage's source
set subject to "Fwd: " & thisMessage's subject
make new to recipient with properties {address:theAuthority}
delete bcc recipients
delete cc recipients
end tell
send newMessage
set read status of thisMessage to true
set was forwarded of thisMessage to true
set junk mail status of thisMessage to true
end repeat
end tell

Help Needed with Apple Script

I need a little help with Apple Script. I have been using a script for several months now, and all of a sudden it just stopped working. Here's the script"
============
with timeout of 9999 seconds
tell application "Finder"
activate
(* copy target file to another disk - to create a backup *)
duplicate file "Daily.dmg" of folder "File Backups" of disk "HD Mirror" to folder "Data Backup-Daily" of disk "MacHD 1" replacing yes
(* copy a 2nd target file to another disk - to create a backup *)
duplicate file "Personal.dmg" of folder "File Backups" of disk "HD Mirror" to folder "Data Backup-Daily" of disk "MacHD 1" replacing yes
(* now copy the 2nd target file to my iDisk *)
duplicate file "Personal.dmg" of folder "Data Backup-Daily" of disk "MacHD 1" to folder "Documents" of disk "xxxxxx" replacing yes
end tell
end timeout
============
In the above script, xxxxxx represents the name of my iDisk that is mounted in the Finder.
Here's my issue - the above script worked fine until just recently. However, now the first two steps work fine, but I get this error message while trying to copy the file to my iDisk:
"The operation could not be completed because some items had to be skipped. 'Personal.dmg'"
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? I'm wondering if Mac OS 10.4.5 might be the culprit since this problem seems to have occurred shortly after I upgraded???
Thanks,

I need help writing an apple script

earlier I made an application with automater saying that when it opens it would add something to my todo list, for example, the subject being english and priority being very high. Then I made an apple script telling it to open the application I made. Then I made a mail rule telling it that if i text my computer and the text includes english and very important (english is subject and very important is the priority) it would open the apple script that tells the application i made to open and put english in my todo list. Can someone tell me how I can make a script in which it puts whatever I text my computer in my todo list, so if i text my computer anything random it would put it in my todo list

Well after a bit of head scratching I have done it! And it was simpler than I expected although I'm sure the script can be improved, it does what I want it to do. Any suggestions on improvements would be welcome.

The script...
