Here you ’ll regain iPhone Mail Rules v1.0 . This is a collection of four helpful Mail rules based on AppleScript that you use in coincidence with Apple ’s Mail . Each is trip by an e - postal service substance you send to yourself ( ideally from your iPhone but you’re able to employ any e - mail client on any gadget ) from a particular e - mail address — your .Mac account , for example . These rules look for a particular subject header — Add to Blog , for instance — followed by a four - case security codification ( to help prevent someone spoofing your e - mail address and obtaining information you ’d rather they did n’t ) .
iPhone Mail Rules includes an installer that puts the AppleScripts in their proper locating and creates the rule for you . you could also use the installer to blue-pencil the installed rule . An iPhone Mail Rules Administrator program program is also include , which allows you to to chop-chop enable / turn off the rules or convert their security ID . iPhone Mail Rules make for only with Apple ’s Mail and for it to work properly your Mac must be on and Mail launch and configured to mechanically recover eastward - ring mail every so often .
The four rule shake out this way :
tot up to Blog : From your iPhone , go to the Photos field , select a picture , tap the Send ikon in the lower - leave corner , and take Email Photo . The photo will be sent to the iPhone ’s mail service program and placed in a new message . In the To sphere get in one of your e - mail accounts . In the capable field enterAdd to Blog xxxx(wherexxxxis your four - digit security measures code ) .
When Mail receives the message , it start the Add to Blog formula , set up iWeb , places the image in a new iWeb web log launching , and places any text edition you ’ve inscribe in the organic structure of the message in the blog verbal description .
Note that this script requires that you have only one situation in your iWeb written document . See the fine print on the Automator.us Thomas Nelson Page .
Also note : When you send a message from the Photos area , you do n’t have the pick to choose which e - mail address it amount from ; it will be sent from the iPhone ’s nonpayment destination . To prefer that default address , water faucet configurations , tap Mail , scroll to the bottom of the screen , tap Default Account , and take the account from which you ’ll institutionalise mail . This account must match the account you ’ve provided to Mail when set up up iPhone Mail Rules .
impart to iPhoto : This rule follow the same “ send yourself a message with a special subject heading ” scheme . Select a picture on your iPhone , due east - post it , and when Mail take in it , it launches iPhoto and place the picture in your iPhoto subroutine library . Any text in the subject matter body appear in the word-painting ’s description airfield within iPhoto .
List Folder : This regulation will return a message to you that lists the contents of a particular folder on your Mac . institutionalise an eastward - mail from your iPhone with the subject headingList Folder xxxxand , in the substance eubstance , get in the path of the folder whose contents you ’d like to view . For example,/Users/ yourusername /Documents/. ( And , yes , you must supply the full course , no fair using the tilde character for your domicile directory . And the path must end with the forward separatrix . ) You ’ll be sent a return substance that lists the contents of that brochure .
Send Document : This final rule is the List Folder rule ’s other shoe . Now that you know the contents of a pamphlet , you may require Mail to send you a copy of one of the single file within it . Create a content with the subject headingSend Document xxxxand in the message body enter the way of life to that text file and its name:/Users/ yourusername /Documents / testfile.doc , for example . Mail will mail a subject matter to your that contains that data file as an attachment .
Note : The iPhone wants to see papers extensions—testfile.doc , rather thantestfile . It will still get the file , but it wo n’t open up it without the extension . So if you think you ’ll be sending yourself Word , Excel , and PDF Indian file in this elbow room , be trusted to impart the elongation to their name on your Mac .
