Sorry for the delayed reply... I've just been catching up with my reading.
I've not done this in MC, but I have written AppleScripts in HC to get data
from Outlook Express, simply as the replies to the request. I would imagine
that this would work.
Mail me offline if you want more info. FWIW, the AppleScript implementation
in Outlook Express is patchy, however. Getting content of the email
messages is fine; and within limits creating messages and modifying existing
ones also (eg I have a script that I regularly run over messages on this
list, to strip formatting which certain people apply to their messages....)
Reading contacts isn't to bad; modify contacts by AppleScript there are
somethings that just don't work, though they clearly should.
