- Archive Emails
-
- Archive Emails is an applescript that will archive your Eudora Pro messages in
- a Filemaker Pro database where they can be related to contacts and more
- efficiently tracked and processed.
-
- Archive Emails comes with a sample Emails.fp3 database. When used with the
- Emails.fp3 database, Archive Emails will store each message's body, date,
- sender email, recipient email, subject, priority, cc, sender, and the mailbox
- from which the message came.
-
- Archive Emails can be run to archive the current message, or you can drop
- a Eudora Mailbox on it to have it archive all the messages in the mailbox
- at once. The more messages Archive Emails has to archive, the longer it
- will take to run.
-
- =============
- Requirements
- =============
- Archive Emails requires the Acme Script Widgets from Acme Technologies at
- http://www.acmetech.com. The Acme Script Widgets are a suite of tools
- availble for $29.
-
- ============
- Quick Start
- ============
- Be sure the Emails.fp3 database is open and the Acme Script Widgets have
- been installed on your system. If you would like to archive one message,
- highlight the message in Eudora Pro and trigger run the Archive Email
- program by double-clicking on it. If you would like to archive an entire
- mailbox, drop the Eudora Pro mailbox onto the Archive Email program.
-
- The first time the program runs, it may ask you to locate Eudora Pro if
- you don't already have it running, or if you have it running under a name
- other than "Eudora Pro". If you click on the wrong application, the Archive
- Emails program will be permanently broken and you will need to try
- again with a fresh copy. If you are running Filemaker Pro under a name other
- than Filemaker Pro, it will also require you to find Filemaker for it. It
- will only ask you to do this the first time it runs.
-
- If you would like to use Archive Emails with a database other than Emails.fp3,
- open the database in which you would like to archive the emails. Do not
- have Emails.fp3 open. Activate the Archive Email program as you normally would,
- described above, either to archive one message or dropping a mailbox on it.
- The program will ask you to type in the database name. Enter the name of the
- database in which you would like to archive your emails. The program will save
- this name and look for your database whenever it's run in the future. Be
- sure to always have your database open before attempting to activate Archive Emails.
-
- The Archive Email program will look for the following fields in your database:
-
- body
- date
- sender email
- recipient email
- subject
- priority
- cc
- sender
- mailbox
-
- You don't need to include all of these fields in your database if you're not
- interested in archiving all that information. Include only the fields that
- you want. Spelling and spaces count so be sure your field names are an exact
- match if you want Archive Emails to fill them.
