Mail Scripts is a collection of AppleScript Studio applications for Mail and Address Book offering additional features or simplified workflow. Mail Scripts consists of the following scripts: - Add Addresses (Mail): Add addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.
- Archive Messages (Mail): Move messages from the selected mailbox(es) to an archive mailbox or export them to standard mbox or plain text files for backup purposes or import into other applications. You can select to move all messages or only messages sent within or certain period as well filter messages based on their read and flagged status.
- Change SMTP Server (Mail): Switch between different already defined SMTP servers or define a new one. This is especially useful if you are using your computer in more than one location and have to switch servers for several accounts at once.
- Create Rule (Mail): Create a new rule based on the first of the selected messages. This saves you the trouble of copy/pasting address or other info between the message and the rule window and provides a much quicker way for setting up a rule with multiple criteria/actions.
- Remove Duplicates (Mail): Locate all duplicate messages found in the selected mailbox(es) and move them to a separate mailbox for easy removal (duplicate matching is based on the unique message header "Message-Id").
- Schedule Delivery (Mail): Allows you to send individual messages at predefined times (this script uses iCal for scheduling message delivery).
- Send all Drafts (Mail): Immediately send all messages in the "Drafts" folders for all accounts. This saves you from having to open each draft in order to send it.
- Open Mailbox, Open Message (Mail): Two small faceless scripts which will open mailboxes with new messages or the new messages themselves when run as a rule action.
- Filter Sent Messages (Mail): Another faceless scripts which will apply your rules to the messages in the "Sent" mailbox.
- Export Addresses (Address Book): Export addresses from the Address Book into tab-delimited text files. You can select which groups and which fields you want to export.
- Search Addresses (Address Book): Find all addresses inside the Address Book matching one or more criteria. As opposed to the "Search" function built into the Address Book, this lets you search in any field as well as for empty and non-empty fields. As an example, you might use this script to search for all phone numbers with a certain area code in order to update your contacts after an area code change.
Mail Scripts are fully localized in English, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Greek, Brazilian Portuguese, and Norwegian.
Version 2.8.3: Improvements/bugfixes:
- (Export Addresses): Fix error Can't convert "Full Name" to text. (-1700) when trying to export addresses in pre-Leopard system as non-Unicode text.
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

TUISHIMI Mostly works as advertised. Installed and (for the most part) runs fine on my Intel iMac, OS X 10.5.6. I did find that the "Find Duplicates" does not find all duplicates. Some but not all. I fiddled around with the options a few times. Also, I have a few HUGE mailboxes I am exporting into files. The smaller boxes go great, the larger one came back with a "TIMED OUT" message about 600 messages into the export. I am trying it again to see if it succeeds this time or not.

I too primarily need the "Find Duplicates" functionality. Both when i was on my G4, and now on my Mac Pro, i can execute it on directories i am *certain* contain dozens of duplicates and it fails to find any.

ANONYMOUS Make sure it's an "Admin" account you're using to attempt to install it.

ANDREAS AMANN This most likely is due to some installer screwing up permissions in your user library folder (Palm Desktop is one of the know culprits for things like this...). Issue the following command in the Terminal and you should be able to run the Installer after that: sudo chown -R `whoami` ~/Library/Scripts
(you will have to enter an administrator password). P.S.: You probably get better support for issues like these by sending me an email - I only check the comments here sporadically...

QON I mainly needed the Remove Duplicate Emails script. I tried it on boxes containing thousands of emails of which i know a couple hundred are duplicates. It found 2.

MARCUS R. Very good job. The Filter Snt Messages saved me a lot of work. I just wish it had a script the remove messages from server to attach to a rule.

QUBEX Very hand set of scripts but unfortunately "Find Duplicates" doesn't work for me: after selecting folders (and often setting the "ignore headers" option) it just hangs, or sometimes crashes completely with the window disappearing from the desktop. I run 10.4.2 with the most recent version of Mail.app.

AXEL KATERBAU I use this for exporting from Tiger's Mail.app to mbox files. Works like a charm.

ANONYMOUS Runs great and has some very handy mail scripts. I just wish it had something similar to the ClarisIt script for Entourage, so I could remove attachments from emails to reduce mail's overhead.

JEDIK Why not install the scripts in the specific folder in the ~/Library/Scripts/Applications folder? This way, the scripts would appear only to Mail or to AddressBook.
