Publisher's Description
From Andreas Amann:
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.
- 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.
What's new in this version:
Improvements/bugfixes:
- The Installer now installs the scripts into the current user's application folder (~/Applications/) instead of the global applications folder if the current user does not have admin rights.
- (Schedule Delivery): Fixed a problem which could result in an error message being displayed when more than one mail was scheduled to be sent at the same time.

"Been using it for years. Especially "schedule delivery""
Version: Mail Scripts 2.10.2
Pros
Only way I know of to schedule delivery of emails with Apple Mail
Cons
Have to rely on external script
-
""Remove Duplicates" mail script doesn't find duplicates"
Version: Mail Scripts 2.10.2
Pros
Clear value prop, will explained, decent help
Cons
The script doesn't work, so worthless for me; I have 1000s of mail duplicates and need a tool to deduplicate the mess
Summary
Don't know why the script I needed doesn't work at all; can't speak for any of the others; you might like it if you don't need that script

"Remove duplicates doesn't work"
Version: Mail Scripts 2.8.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I got Mail Scripts specifically to eliminate duplicates in my Apple Mail mailboxes. I ran the Remove Duplicates script several times and it failed in each instance to find duplicates. I ran it on a large mailbox (11,000 items) which contains hundreds of duplicate emails and it found one (1). I tried this on another box and got 2 duplicates but I know there are many more duplicates in that box. I clicked "Take all accounts offline" before I ran the script. I ran the script on each mailbox one at a time not together.
Perhaps this script was never tested on Leopard. I don't know about the performance of the other scripts which may work okay. -
"Export Address Script"
Version: Mail Scripts 2.8.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
It works great! I was surprised at the interface that came up, it worked like a regular program not like the old Apple Script I knew? Thanks for making such a great program. I hope Apple includes a text export feature in a later release, so we don't have to go through all this stuff. -
"Worked sometimes, but it was slow and crashed...."
Version: Mail Scripts 2.7.13
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I tried this on my MacBook Core Duo (2.16 GHz with 2 GB of RAM) and it worked for some mailboxes. In total, I probably have about 15 Gigs of emlx files (perhaps 150,000 email messages) in a variety of mailboxes on my hard drive.
MailScripts was very slow, however. And on a particularly large mailbox (16,000 messages), Mail.app unexpectedly quit and MailScripts didn't finish its work.
I had better luck using this script:

which was also kind of slow but was more stable, in my experience. -

Very simple. Easy to install. Works like a charm even with multiple profiles running. Runs seamlessly in the background. If I could give it six stars, I would! -

This is exactly what you need to bring Apple's Mail to a higher experience level !
If you haven't download and used this...you have been living in a cave for some time. -
"Mail Scripts Works!"
Version: Mail Scripts 2.7.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Tried to use other Mail archive programs with little success. The interfaces on those other programs, FastMailBase, Mr.Postman, MailArchiver, were just too complicated for me and didn't always work. (Could have easily been operator error!) But these scripts worked for me the first time......great!
