I have a folder action script which, when a new item was added to the
folder, the script would create a desktop alias to the folder, newly
named.
I would like to adapt the script so that when new mail is sorted into a
users folder in the database of mail, that the alert icon is created on
the desktop.
so. I have this:
property WatchedFolders : {"Evan", "Doug", "Karen", "Alanna"}
tell application "Claris Emailer"
ignoring case
repeat with x from 1 to the (number of items of (get folders where has
unread messages is true))
if name of item x of (get folders where has unread messages is
true)
is in WatchedFolders then
tell application "Finder"
set AliasName to ((name of item x) & " has
mail!")
if not (exists alias ("Mooch:Desktop Folder:"
& AliasName)) then
make alias file to this_folder with
properties {name:(AliasName)}
end if
end tell
end if
end repeat
end ignoring
end tell
Now obviously, the script breaks at the 'this_folder' reference, because
there is no *folder*, but a reference in the database. The files of mail,
opened when you click on the little folder in the browse window aren't
really folders at all. I know� Can I even do this? Make an icon which
will open the 'folder' of user mail from the desktop?
