1 I don’t want the icon for an applescript to show up in the dock. How can I do this?
2 I want to open Mail and check for new mail. I’ve had a look at the ‘Mail’ dictionary and I can’t figure the syntax for ‘check for new mail’.
Thanks in advance.
For all who have been searching for the answers for me, I’ve figured out how to do this:
1 tell application “Mail” to check for new mail
2 How to make an app background only: http://bbs.applescript.net/viewtopic.php?t=3845&highlight=background&sid=cee33b2c5c0ee2ab453bcc3db39da1cf
To check for mail, try this…
tell application "Mail"
activate
check for new mail for account "Acct. Name"
end tell
Where Acct, Name is the account name from Mail’s preferences / accounts.
