Hi, all -
I would like to create a couple of scripts in PowerMail using the Find
function. I've taken a quick looked the dictionary, but don't see
anything obvious. I _am_ an AppleScript newbie/idiot, so maybe it's
just me...
What I want to do is create AppleScripts using Find that emulate Smart
Folders. For example:
1) A script that will find/display all messages with a specific label
anywhere in the database. I have a label (ToDo) which is automatically
set by some filters, and sometimes manually, to keep track of things I
have to do at some later time. I also want to have these messages
remain in their respective folders.
2) A script that will find/display all unread messages, for those times
when my cat shuts down my computer (No, I am NOT kidding!) which defeats
the Recent Mail window.
I can do these things manually and easily with the Find function now,
but it would be nice to automate them...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
- Don

It just happened that a few people sent me large audio files at once.
The partition I have PM db filled up quickly. At this point, PM threw
"Not enough space" message. The problem is this message gets in a
loop. You can't exit PM at this point.
If I hit Cmd+Q between dismissing the warning box, PM shows "Quit
Anyway?" warning even though the status bar isn't indicating download is
in progress. The "Quit Anyway?" dialog is sent right away by another
"Not enough space" warning.
I had to kill PM proc to shut it off. Of course the indices needed to
be rebuilt at this point. I was really glad the mail db wasn't corrupt, tho.
