What this skill does
# Apple Mail Skill This skill provides commands to interact with Apple Mail on macOS via AppleScript. ## Available Scripts All scripts are in the `../../scripts/` directory (relative to this file). Execute them via bash from the plugin root. ### Account & Mailbox Management | Script | Purpose | Arguments | |--------|---------|-----------| | `list-accounts.sh` | List all email accounts | none | | `list-mailboxes.sh` | List mailboxes/folders | `[account]` (optional) | | `get-unread-count.sh` | Get unread email count | `[account] [mailbox]` (optional) | ### Reading Emails | Script | Purpose | Arguments | |--------|---------|-----------| | `get-emails.sh` | Get recent emails | `[account] [mailbox] [limit] [include_content] [unread_only]` | | `get-email-by-id.sh` | Get specific email by ID | `<id> [account] [mailbox] [include_content]` | | `search-emails.sh` | Search emails | `<query> [account] [mailbox] [limit]` | ### Sending & Composing | Script | Purpose | Arguments | |--------|---------|-----------| | `send-email.sh` | Send an email | `<to> <subject> <body> [cc] [bcc] [from]` | | `create-draft.sh` | Create a draft email | `<subject> <body> [to] [cc] [bcc] [from]` | | `create-reply-draft.sh` | Create reply to email | `<message_id> <body> [reply_all] [account] [mailbox]` | | `send-draft.sh` | Send front-most draft | none | ### Email Management | Script | Purpose | Arguments | |--------|---------|-----------| | `archive-email.sh` | Archive an email | `<message_id> [account] [mailbox] [archive_mailbox]` | | `delete-email.sh` | Delete an email | `<message_id> [account] [mailbox]` | | `mark-read.sh` | Mark email as read | `<message_id> [account] [mailbox]` | | `mark-unread.sh` | Mark email as unread | `<message_id> [account] [mailbox]` | ## Output Format Scripts use delimiters for structured output: - `<<>>` separates fields within a record - `|||` separates multiple records - `ERROR:` prefix indicates an error message ### Email Record Format ``` id<<>>subject<<>>sender<<>>to<<>>cc<<>>bcc<<>>dateSent<<>>isRead<<>>content||| ``` ## Usage Examples ### List accounts ```bash ./scripts/list-accounts.sh ``` ### Get recent emails from INBOX ```bash ./scripts/get-emails.sh "" "INBOX" 10 false false ``` ### Get recent unread emails with content ```bash ./scripts/get-emails.sh "" "INBOX" 10 true true ``` ### Get specific email by ID ```bash ./scripts/get-email-by-id.sh 12345 "iCloud" "INBOX" true ``` ### Search emails ```bash ./scripts/search-emails.sh "meeting notes" "" "" 20 ``` ### Send an email ```bash ./scripts/send-email.sh "[email protected]" "Subject" "Body text" ``` ### Send with CC and BCC ```bash ./scripts/send-email.sh "[email protected]" "Subject" "Body" "[email protected]" "[email protected]" ``` ### Create a draft ```bash ./scripts/create-draft.sh "Draft Subject" "Draft body" "[email protected]" ``` ### Reply to an email ```bash ./scripts/create-reply-draft.sh 12345 "Thanks for your message!" false "iCloud" "INBOX" ``` ### Send the front-most draft ```bash ./scripts/send-draft.sh ``` ### Archive an email ```bash ./scripts/archive-email.sh 12345 "iCloud" "INBOX" ``` ### Mark as read/unread ```bash ./scripts/mark-read.sh 12345 "iCloud" "INBOX" ./scripts/mark-unread.sh 12345 "iCloud" "INBOX" ``` ## Parsing Output When receiving email records, parse them like this: 1. Split by `|||` to get individual records 2. Split each record by `<<>>` to get fields 3. Fields are: id, subject, sender, to, cc, bcc, dateSent, isRead, content Example parsing in bash: ```bash IFS='|||' read -ra emails <<< "$output" for email in "${emails[@]}"; do IFS='<<>>' read -ra fields <<< "$email" id="${fields[0]}" subject="${fields[1]}" sender="${fields[2]}" # ... etc done ``` ## Notes - Scripts require macOS with Apple Mail configured - Apple Mail must have at least one account set up - First run may trigger macOS permission prompts for automation - Empty optional arguments should be passed as empty strings "" - For scripts that need arrays (multiple recipients), pass comma-separated values ## Reference For advanced AppleScript patterns and customization, see `./reference/applescript-patterns.md`.
