I want to make an Mac application which read e-mails from Mail.app and display them, but I can't find any info about how to read mail from Mail.app. My question is:
Applescript is probably the easiest way, for example:
tell application "Mail"
set theMessage to message 1 of inbox
set theBody to content of theMessage as rich text
end tell
Run the script through NSAppleScript
, quick dirty example (no error handling and so on):
NSString *theSource = @"tell application \"Mail\"\n"
"set theMessage to message 4 of inbox\n"
"set theBody to content of theMessage as rich text\n"
"end tell\n"
"return theBody";
NSAppleScript* theScript = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:theSource];
NSAppleEventDescriptor* theDescriptor = [theScript executeAndReturnError:NULL];
NSLog(@"%@", theDescriptor);
Alternative use osascript
through NSTask
to run the script.
EDIT (response to comment)
Loop through all messages and add their body to the theMessages
list.
set theMessages to {}
tell application "Mail"
set theCount to get the count of messages of inbox
repeat with theIncrementValue from 1 to theCount by 1
set TheMessage to message 1 of inbox
set theBody to content of TheMessage as rich text
set end of theMessages to theBody
end repeat
end tell
return theMessages
