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.
