Use Mail.app without performing pending operations
Thanks tedw! how do I go about it? I've looked at your link but I don't understand even the basics... how do I I quit finde?? Where do I put this script and/or how do I implement it?
Use Mail.app without performing pending operations
open the Script Editor application (/Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app), copy the script from the link (everything in red) into the editor, and save it. You can run it straight from the script editor, run it from the script menu or quicksilver or some such, or save it as an application and ad double-click it.

thnaks tedw, I've just tried what you wrote (opened the script editor, copy+paste the red text - your script, than I saved it and hit the "run"-button. All I get is: "AppleScript Error: Specified button does not exist" ... sorry, I feel really stupid - what is it that I'm doing wrong?

yeah, apparently that's an error in that guy's script (he wrote 'default button 3' when there are only two buttons). but try the script I just wrote, which deletes the file directly without turning hidden files on or off. Edited on Nov 29, '09 07:58:35AM by tedw
Use Mail.app without performing pending operations
actually, this script will be easier. it just deletes all the offline caches from all your IMAP folders, with no need to fuss about it.
copy it into Script Editor and save/run it as you like

just did it... started so promising, asking me "delete mail's offline cache?" when i hit "ok" it says: "The Variable thePath is not defined" :(

whoops, sorry, forgot a line. should read as follows:

I found that I had to add 'with administrator privileges' to the end of the 'do shell script' line in order for the script to run without throwing a permissions error. The script asks for an administrator's user/pass, but then runs properly. |
