If you right click while in the AppleScript editor several basic forms are
available.
I took two of these to create the script at the end of this message.
The first one was Action Clauses->Timeout Clauses and the second was
Dialog Clauses->Two Button.
So this script should display a dialog box for 30 seconds. If you click yes or
do nothing then it will say quitting mail.
If you click No then it will say OK forget it then and exit
try
with timeout of 30 seconds
display dialog "Are you ready to Clean the mail Application?"
buttons {"No", "Yes"} default button 2
if the button returned of the result is "No" then
say "OK forget it then..."
return
end if
end timeout
end try
say "quitting mail"
