Send text message notices of new e-mails in Mail
Authored by: solipsism on Mar 28, '06 12:44:24PM

This is really cool! My one issue is that I get hundreds of emails a day. I would love to be able to restrict the SMS alert to only messages that fit certain critera setup in Mail.app. How would I modify this to allow me to only recieve from a certain rule (eg: SMS) which I could alter under Rules in Mail.app, at will, without affecting the AppleScript functionality.

The great thing about this solution is that you only add the Applescript as an action on the rules you want to trigger it. So, if you already use rules, just add a new action in the ones that you want to forward and tell it to run the script. If you don't already use rules, you could make a new one and tell it to notify you, for instance, of messages that are urgent and from contacts in your address book. The script will not notify you of e-mails that don't fall under any rules that call the script.
