Opening a browser and checking web based email

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I would like to have a script to open a browser (either Firefox or Safari) and open my Google Apps email account - I have it set to auto log in, so that makes it simpler I would imagine. For now, use the web address of http://www.example.com and I will put the proper web address in there.

If it helps at all, I have an extension in Firefox called Permatab to always have a tab open to s specific page, and that page happens to be the email account.

I am trying to set up the voice command of “Get my mail” or something similar to that anyway, and I like the interface of Google Mail much more than iMail. On asking at the Apple support it was indicated to write an AppleScript and put it in a specofic location, but I am clueless on how to write it.

Here you go.
