Hello,
As promised, I have written the script that Jonathan Mozen requested. Please
note, I have only run this twice and only on a Yosemite system, so no promises.
I put in a little more documentation than most of what I have published, but it
could use more.
I don’t always get to read MacVisionaries, so write me directly if you need
support and I will try.
The script sstarts with the use line and ends with “end run”
————————-
use Mail : application id "com.apple.mail"
-- This set of statements is all you should need to adjust.
-- this will change the columns for the Family Mailbox of the Google account
and the Inbox
to CorrectColumns()
set mb to mailbox "Family" of account "Google"
set col to {attachments column, message status column, subject column,
from column, date received column}
AdjustMailColumns for mb into col
set mb to mailbox inbox
AdjustMailColumns for mb into col
end CorrectColumns
-- The real meat of the script is below.
--This function takes a folder and a list of columns and attempts to set the
columns up.
-- If no message viewer is available create one.
on AdjustMailColumns for myBox into ColumnList
try
set myViewer to message viewer 1
set myWindow to window of myViewer
set myWindow's index to 1
on error
set myViewer to make new message viewer
end try
set selected mailboxes of myViewer to {myBox}
set the visible columns of myViewer to ColumnList
end AdjustMailColumns
-- This will make the application specified move to the front.
-- no errors or specific messages are generated on failure.
on MoveToFront(AppName)
try
activate application AppName
tell application "System Events"
set frontmost of process AppName to true
end tell
end try
end MoveToFront
on run {}
MoveToFront("Mail")
CorrectColumns
end run
Best wishes,
Jonathan
