It’s been a while since I’ve written anything in AS. I wrote this script this morning to notify me when I received email in my subfolders of Outlook 2011…it works except I can’t seem to get the idle functioning. Am I doing something wrong? ANy help would be appreciated:
on idle
display notification "Checking Outlook mail"
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
if view of the first main window is not equal to "mail view" then
set view of the first main window to mail view
end if
set mailFolder to mail folder of exchange account "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
repeat with thisFolder in mailFolder
if name of thisFolder is "People" then
set peopleFolders to every mail folder of thisFolder
repeat with thisPeopleFolder in peopleFolders
set senderName to name of thisPeopleFolder
set messageCount to count of every message of thisPeopleFolder
if messageCount > 0 then
set thisMessage to last message of thisPeopleFolder
if is read of thisMessage is false then
set messageTitle to subject of thisMessage
display notification "Message from: " & senderName & return & "Subject: " & messageTitle
delay 7
end if
end if
end repeat
end if
end repeat
return 10
end tell
end idle
