If you right click while in the AppleScript editor several basic forms are
available.
I took two of these to create the script at the end of this message.
The first one was Action Clauses->Timeout Clauses and the second was
Dialog Clauses->Two Button.
So this script should display a dialog box
Since I don't know how to do dialogues yet I'll have to poke my nose in to
that. Is there an easier way then typing all of it by hand, besides asking for
help of corse. I want to try and do as much as I can on my own. that's the best
way to learn. lol!

Yes, you can set up an apple script to run as an alarm for ical. There is a
runscript option in the alarm pull down menu.
I don't know what would happen if you are not logged in when the Alarm occurs.
And if you are logged in and reading mail right now it would quit you out of
mail, so you m
You don't. I just run mine once a month as I remember to do it. I don' know if
there is a way to get ICal to run an apple script.

Inotice it a bit. My mail still crashes when reading some message but I have
come to the fact thatmail is refusing to render some messages correctly and I
have to live with it. I do notice a slight speed increase. I can hear when it's
working as the hard drive activity increases a big deal.

Did you notice a speed difference? Between the upgrade to the new SnowLeopard
and the fact that I don't regularly exit Mail, I was not sure if there was a
difference. Certainly I am having VO do a couple busy remarks when opening
mail.

Hi
I was wandering whether you have gotten this to work. I have tried automator
but it is pretty intimidating.

Ok it worked. I have another question about apple scripting for something else
but I'll try my hand at it first as I think I'm getting used to the language
slowely. lol!

I'll try that. thanks. sorry for all of my lack of know how on this. I'm not
used to this language. lol! and I am by no means the best programer in the
world. I used to script for something else that's not to be disgussed on this
list. lol!

THe code you used had 3 basic differences
1. wrapped the entire script in a try block. Try blocks are used so that if
any part of the script fails it does not abort, but handles it. Since you
didn't catch any errors in the c
so the code would do something like this:
try
tell application "Mail" to quit
tell application terminal: type sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum;
tell application "Mail" to run
end try
Sorry. I'm just learning. I've coded in other languages so cannot figure out
why I cannot grasp this
Well, the automation is doing three things, and one could write it in apple
script just as easily.
For a one time use...
1. quit mail
2. start terminal
3. Enter the following command at the terminal prompt
sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum;

I came acroos this and tried to follow these steps except I can't get past the
first one. They might have been using an older automater app. I have to do it
from the command line every month but I really don't know if tht's efficent and
if I'll remember. lol.
anyway here are the directions.
