I don't know if something similar has been posted before but I thought I'd give
my own solution to the syncing problem. I have a pretty small
database (300 items, ~5mb). I mainly use Yojimbo on my computer at work but
sometimes when I'm at home I'd like to change my shopping list or add
a bookmark. I don't want to put my database on a jump drive everyday when I
might not need it. I decided to have my computer at work email the
database to my gmail account on command. At home, I go to gmail and send a
message to my work address with "get Yojimbo database" as the subject.
At work, Mailsmith has a filter that runs the following applescript when it
receives a message with the proper sender and subject:
tell application "Yojimbo"
quit
end tell
tell application "Mailsmith"
set subjectTest to "Yojimbo Database"
set recipient to {address:"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"}
set the new_message to make new message window
tell new_message
make new to_recipient at end with properties recipient
set the subject to subjectTest
make new enclosure at end with properties
{file:"/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Yojimbo/Database.sqlite"}
end tell
send new_message
end tell
and in about ten minutes I have my Yojimbo database sitting in my gmail inbox.
The script was put together using examples from mailsmith.org.
I'm very new to Applescript so please don't judge based on form. I just
thought that it might help somebody out. I got the idea from
<http://tinyurl.com/262o9d> so I'm sure it would also work for Mail.app. Of
course, this is predicated on having a work machine that checks for
new messages through the evening and an email account that is liberal with
attachment size. Still, if you meet the requirements this could be a
lot less expensive than syncing over .Mac.
Cheers,
Mike
