I have an AppleScript I want to apply to individual emails (to archive them as PDFs with a particular file name), ut can't work out how to apply it to specific emails.
I can't set up a mail rule to run the script as it is just my judgment as to whether I want to archive one out of Mail or not. Have tried setting it up as a Service, but there is no Services menu on right clicking an email in Mail.
Any suggestions?!

How are you planning on specifying which individual emails? If by selecting them manually, you can “get selection”. Here’s a simple script that will get the subject and message Id of each selected message.
tell application "Mail"
set mySelection to get selection
set eMails to {}
repeat with selectedMessage in mySelection
set messageId to selectedMessage's message id as string
set eMail to selectedMessage's subject & ": " & messageId
tell me to set end of eMails to eMail
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "\n\n"
set the clipboard to (eMails as string)
end tell
Save it in ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Mail/ and it will show up in your Scripts menu. You may have to go to AppleScript Editor’s settings to “Show Script menu in menu bar” to make the Scripts menu show up.
(Note: when you compile this script, the \n\n will turn into new lines.)

This is for the Notification Plugin (link here) for Jenkins.
I have a bunch of Jenkins jobs that I want to keep an eye on. I want to be alerted/emailed when any changes are made to a job so the job notification plugin should be helpful. This plugin adds a subsection to each Jenkins job for us to configure. We have to check the checkbox and enter email addresses for each job to notify us whenever there's a change.
I want to define some environment variable that contains emails so I don't have to go into each job to add/delete email addresses for interested parties; that I can just add/delete addresses from this variable. Can someone tell me how to do this or am I out of luck and the field only takes email addresses and not variables containing email addresses.
Screenshots from my Jenkins:
Global variables defined in Jenkins:
Field in Jenkins job notification heading that doesn't allow me to enter a variable for emails:
This appears to be fixed in version 2.144 (both "${DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS}" and "$DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS" reference the global property fine in the "Recipients" field).
Otherwise, I use the Email Extension Plugin ("Email-ext") for much more flexibility.
Once installed, to configure the plugin, navigate to Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Configure System, and scroll down to "Extended E-mail Notification".
There you can set the global defaults, such as "Default Recipients".
These settings are assigned to tokens, such as "$DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS".
Click the "?" button for each setting and note the token name.
Note the "cc:" and "bcc:" prefixes to put an address on "cc" or "bcc").
Then, in your job configuration (/job/myJobName/configure):
Go to "Post-build Actions"
Click "Add post-build action" and select "Editable Email Notification".
Ensure that "$DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS" is in the "Project Recipient List", with any other addresses (note the "cc:" prefix to put addresses on "cc").
Click on the "Advanced settings" (bottom left of the "Editable Email Notification" configuration) to show the "Triggers" section and configure emails depending on the build status, like "Always", "Failure", etc...). Click the "Advanced" button for each trigger to get more options.
Once this setup is done, you can edit the global "$DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS" to change the emailing for all jobs configured as above, and have the functionality you require.
PS: I know this is old, I hope my answer may help others - like me - that have the same question.
I've been trying to follow a similar approach as that of yours, with the only difference of having a job parameter being assigned the recipient's address.
I encountered a problem where the plugin wasn't able to parse the job/environment variable to it's assigned value (the email address).
For example,
emailID=xxxxxx#yyyyy.com
Now this particular variable was being sent into the emailing list as ${emailID} and not as xxxxxxx#yyyyyy.com
The fix? Really funny.
Your variable must be the first comma seperated value in the mailing list.
You can refer to the attached image below.
As you can see, just keep the variable first, and then your predefined values or the plugin's variables
I am new to applescript and I am running into an issue.
I have setup a rule in mail to check incoming mails and trigger a script. What do I need to change in the script below ? The problem is in the script not the rules.
The script will not go beyond what I have below until I select it myself.
What would be the right code so I don't have to actually select the email.
Thanks.
tell application "Mail" -----check mail for incoming emails
set theMessage to message 1 of mailbox "INBOX" of account "GMAIL"
set thebody to content of theMessage
set theSelection to selection
set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection
content of theMessage
end tell
The basic syntax for a mail rule is
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
repeat with aMessage in theMessages
set thebody to content of aMessage
-- do other things with aMessage
end repeat
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
The script must be saved in ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail/, then you are able to select it in the dialog window to create and edit a rule.
If I understand what you are asking, you just need to add the following lines to vadian's answer (replacing "-- do other things with aMessage")
set myword1 to the first word of body
set myword2 to the second word of body
There are lots of good resources for learning AppleScript at MacOSX Automation
Thanks for your help.
I guess that was what I needed at the time.
I found a workaround by just having Automator mark the message as read.
That did the trick to trigger my script automatically as soon as the message comes in.
I use AppleScript and can send messages without any problem, but the "Sent" box does not get a copy of what I sent. However, if I use Mail Application to send messages, the "Sent" box gets a copy of what I sent. So I guess my AppleScript may miss a command or so to tell Mail to keep a copy of the sent messages. What's the command that I missed? Thanks.
tell application "Mail"
set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theBody & return & return, visible:true}
tell theNewMessage
set visibile to false
set sender to theSender
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:theAddress}
make new attachment with properties {file name:theAttachment} at after the last paragraph
send
delay 5
end tell
end tell
I don’t think you’re missing any command. I copied your script to Script Editor on my iMac, set values for theSubject, theBody, theAddress, theSender, and theAttachment, and ran it. It (a) successfully sent the message, and (b) I was able to view the message it sent in my Sent mailbox.
I tried this both with a known sender and with a random example.com sender. In both cases, it was saved in the default Sent box.
So the issue most likely lies elsewhere. Make sure that the value you’re currently using for theSender maps to an account in Mail that saves sent messages. (If it’s an IMAP account, it may be saving sent messages on the server, and server behavior may be affecting what you see.)
If that doesn’t work, set up some test values for all of the variables in the script except theAddress (using example.com for theSender), and include those (except theAddress) in your question. (If you can use example.com for theAddress, too, do that, but some servers will simply refuse the message immediately, which makes it worthless for testing this particular case.)
Note that you have an error that does not change this behavior; you have “visible” misspelled as “visibile”. However, I tried it both ways and in both cases the outgoing message does get stored in the appropriate Sent box.
Try adding this after you send the message...
set accountReference to first account whose name = "my account name"
synchronize with accountReference
How do you go about changing the title of emails in a second language store view. Example "New Order" in the New Order confirmation email. csv files are not responding in this case...
Another solution. You can copy the default email templates into a language folder you are wanting to use, and translate them manually.
Copy everything in app/locale/en_US/template to app/locale/[YOUR
LANGUAGE CODE]/template.
Change [YOUR LANGUAGE CODE] to the Language Code of your
desired language. YOu can find a list here. Make sure it's in
the format en_US.
Modify the email templates in your app/locale/[YOUR
LANGUAGE CODE]/template folder.
In Magento, go to System > Configuration > General. At the top left, change your Current Configuration Scope: to the store you want translated.
Change the Locale to the language you translated to. It must match correct the language code used in your folder namespace.
NOTE: When editing the email template files, you'll notice some comments at the top containing variables and such. You will see something like <!--#subject Welcome, {{var customer.name}}! #-->. Changing this will alter the subject line used by Magento.
You can just create custom Transactional Emails which include the translations needed for the store view.
Create a new Transaction Email template, in your store's required
language. Go to System > Transactional Emails and click Add New
Template. Load in the default template you are trying to
translate and modify the subject and body of the email.
Go to System > Configuration > Sales Emails At the top left of your configuration, change to your desired Store View you want these emails to be assigned to.
Change the New Order Confirmation Template to the Transaction Email template you created. Click Save Config.
Items ordered from that store should now send an email using the translated email you created.
I have a data stream that will be sent as daily emails containing temperature and wind speed from a measurement site. I would like to to automatically filter out these emails from the other emails I receive, then save the email body content to its own text file. Each text file must have a distinct file name; for example it could include the time that the email was sent or received. All files must all end up in a chosen directory. And ideally the process would be robust enough that it could run unattended for weeks. Our email system is Outlook but I could choose to send the email to my gmail account, for example. What is the big picture of how to do this?
Bigger picture: create a VBA script that runs on the Items_ItemAdd event, which fires whenever an email arrives.
Specifics: Use the solution on this page, but in the Items_ItemAdd routine change the olSaveAsMsg to olSaveAsTxt to get the text format you want.
Note that the file name format in the example should match what you need, but you'll need to add criteria to the Items_ItemAdd routine to check that the message is one that you want to save. For example, you could read the Item.Subject property.
it means you are working with exchange, i suggest to use imap protocol to read the mails, and you will be able to save the body.
