Hi all,
I use a custom AppleScript to move a message into a specific folder in
my folder list. For example, let's say my folders are organized like this:
Dave's Team
John Doe
Sally Smith
So, to move a message I am reading to John's folder, I select my "Move
to John" custom AppleScript from my Scripts menu:
------
tell application "PowerMail"
set messageList to the current messages
if messageList is {} then display dialog "This script applies to the
selected messages (or it can be used as a mail filter script)" buttons
{"OK"} default button "OK"
repeat with aMessage in messageList
move aMessage to message container "John Doe" of message container
"Dave's Team"
end repeat
end tell
------
I have a unique script in my Custom Scripts folder, for everybody on my
team. It's getting quite long and, every time my team changes, I need
to modify my scripts.
What I would love to be able to do is have a single AppleScript that
grabs the sender's name ("John Doe") from my address book and, if a
folder with that same exact name exists in my Folder List, automatically
move it into that folder. That way, as long as my address book entry
matches a folder name entry for the sender of a message, it will
automatically be moved to their folder, when I activate the script.
Does any happen to have an AppleScript that does this, or something similar?
Thanks!
-Dave

why not use PowerMail's simple and elegant filtering option? then you
don't have to manually activate the script but it filters automatically... ?
