RE: how to show unread emails with geektools??
can someone give me a step to step explanation not just a link thanks.😀
(mac)
Below is the script I use to show unread email in mail.
1. Save and name the script (ie Inbox.scpt)
2. Put the script in /Users/(yourname or computer)/Documents/
3. Open shell command in GeekTool
4. Input osascript /Users/(yourname or computer)/Documents/(name of the script)
--------
set messageList to {}
tell application "Mail"
repeat with pendingMessage in (messages of inbox whose read status is false and deleted status is false)
tell pendingMessage
--get sender's name
set senderName to extract name from sender
--if there is no name, or the address line is malformed, better to show just the address
if senderName is equal to sender then
set senderName to extract address from sender
end if
--mark flagged messages specially
if pendingMessage is flagged status then
set bullet to "» "
else
set bullet to " "
end if
copy bullet & tab & senderName & ":" & tab & subject & linefeed to end of messageList
end tell
end repeat
end tell
messageList as text
