Looking for help with this problem:
I'm using Microsoft Entourage v 11.3.6 on Mac OS X (v 10.4.10). Entourage stores mail messages in these giant .mbox files. I want to store mail messages locally as text files. I get a lot of mail and I don't want to be going through the “Save As…” steps for each message.
So I'm wondering if AppleScript can help me out here, taking any message that comes into a designated Entourage folder on my local machine and then saving that message with a unique filename in a designated folder (i.e. drive\users\dakin\documents\archivedmail\ ) on my local drive. The unique filename could be something like the numeric date and time that the message was received. Or it could be a sequential number assigned by AppleScript based on the last file saved. The name of the file doesn't matter just so long as these mail messages get out of their .mbox format and into a plain-text format on my drive.
All solutions gratefully accepted. Thanks!
