Comments on: AppleScript to report .Mac spam http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/09/26/applescript-to-report-mac-spam/ Tips and add-ons to make Apple Mail / Mail.app even better Fri, 09 Jan 2009 02:31:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: frank d http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/09/26/applescript-to-report-mac-spam/#comment-141859 frank d Fri, 18 May 2007 02:48:01 +0000 http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/09/26/applescript-to-report-mac-spam/#comment-141859 I would like to thank you for the script and also would like to make a suggestion. It would appear that the script forwards every message from within the spam folder, even messages that have been corrected as not junk. I had some messages that Mail incorrectly flagged as junk and moved into the junk folder. I marked every single one of them as not junk, but had not moved them back into the inbox. After more junk that came in, correctly flagged, so I 'reported spam' and I saw that the legitimate messages (which I hadn't moved out of the junk folder yet) were reported as well. So a check for the junk status would be good thing. I would like to thank you for the script and also would like to make a suggestion.

As you can verify for yourself, there's nothing in the script that acts on contacts (spam-related or otherwise), and it doesn't even talk to Address Book. I wonder if something else is being activated on your machine each time you run the script. Greg, do you mean that all your contacts in OS X’s Address Book app were deleted?

At first, I could not believe it, and it is still not clear to me how. But I confirmed by re-syncing with .mac, populating my junk mail folder with new messages, and then re-running the script. Once again, my address book was wiped out. It appears that this script destroyed my address book. At first, I could not believe it, and it is still not clear to me how.
