Another script to file Mail.app messages by sender
Authored by: gadg on Aug 25, '04 08:32:24AM
I wrote the script in the first hint you are referring to. It does not use external shareware or libraries to figure out the name in the Address Book but does it just like your script does. The scripting library it does use is used for displaying progress.

Seems our scripts do just about the same, except you use different IMAP accounts and offer the creation of new mailboxes. I like the latter, I have no need for the first.

After publishing the original script, I copied/altered it to also sort outgoing messages. I periodically invoke both scripts to sort messages in my inbox and outbox. The last couple of weeks I've been thinking about building a new version of the script to combine the two tasks, which is more modular, allows for more custom settings for the user and has a better user interface. Time constraints (10 month old 'daughter'), lack of AppleScript knowledge and busy schedule have kept me from diving into it too much. I also see a possibility of continued development into an Automator Workflow.
