AppleScript和Mail.app：检查特定帐户中的新消息

Question

I want to include the number of new messages from a specific mail account in my zsh prompt, but I can only get mail to return the total number of new mails.

set output_string to ""
tell application "Mail"
set Unread_Count to unread count of inbox
if Unread_Count is 0 then
set output_string to "0"
else
set output_string to ("" & (get Unread_Count))
end if
end tell
return Unread_Count

I've tried several other approaches like:

set Unread_Count to unread count of account "Gmail"

but without any luck.

I would appreciate your help!
thanks!

Answer 1

Try:

tell application "Mail" to set undreadMessages to messages of mailbox "INBOX" of account "my account name" whose read status = false

EDIT for Marcus Rickert

tell application "Mail" to set Unread_Count to count (messages of mailbox "INBOX" of account "my account name" whose read status = false)
