Sorry for the new thread, but I read a lot of posts about mail attachment saving, but didn’t find any useful for me.
I’m very new in Mac’s world, olny last week shifted from PC. There i had to used TheBat! for mailing and i was very content with filtering options.
I’m just downloaded some AppleScript references, but I hope someone can easily help form me here.
The problem is the next:
I have a homepage, witch dump down daliy a mysql database and sends me with always the same subject.
The mail contains a gzip file with filename of the current day (for example: 20_10_2007.sql.gz)
I have a partition for my works next to Tiger, called Data.
So I would like to get all the attachments of this emails saved to a presecified folder in Data partition, then automaticly delete the message. It would be good if all this should be happened automaticly when i get the incoming mail.
welcome to MacScripter.
Try this, adjust the path in the property line (the colon at the end is crucial),
then define a rule in Mail.app and attach the script to this rule.
property destinationFolder : "Data:path:to:Folder:"
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages
tell application "Mail"
repeat with oneMessage in theMessages
try -- if an error occurs the message will not be deleted
repeat with oneAttachment in mail attachments of oneMessage
save oneAttachment in destinationFolder & name of oneAttachment
end repeat
delete oneMessage
end try
end repeat
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
