Hi Bruce,

When it comes to archiving individual notes, I think that getting stuff from Mail into Evernote via your account email address is probably just as easy!

But mailing in multiple notes combines them *into a single note*, which isn’t desirable in many cases. Let’s say you want to archive a folder’s worth of emails, tagging and directing each one individually to the proper notebook. The clipper address doesn’t do that, but the AppleScript will.

Also any tags you assign via MailTags will not automatically transfer over to Evernote via the email clipper address — you manually have to add them to the subject line of the email. The AppleScript “pre-populates” the tag field with the item’s MailTags for your convenience.

One of the things I like best about technology is that people usually figure out more than one way to accomplish things. We can each pick the tools or methods that make the most sense to us. This script works for me but, then again, I’m a little Script-happy!

I’m not sure I understand what you mean?

Nice, but it is just as simple to get mail tags and have the email forwarded to the clipper address assigned to you. One stroke gets it into Evernote. Just a thought.

Hi Mike,

It would certainly be possible to set up the Script to work with a Local Folder!

Once you’ve created the Local folder in Evernote, you’ll need to make one minor change to the AppleScript. At the beginning of the script, you’ll see this line:

property EVnotebook : ""

Just put the name of your local folder in between the quotation marks and you should be all set… ENJOY!

I had an interesting idea that is related to this script and wanted to get your take on it. I would like to set up a local evernote folder and have a script that forwards all email from my mac mail to this folder. This way it does not overload your evernote quota, but gives you the ability to then move and categorize your email from there to synced folders. All the time have the ability to use the power of evernote search features. So basically this local folder can act as you email inbox of sorts. Is this similar in script to what you have written here?

Thanks
Mike

Better change that!

Hi David,

I recently wrote a post about using keyboard shortcuts with AppleScript that should help you get started….

Have Fun!

You said: “”Keyboard shortcuts can also be assigned to AppleScripts in the script menu using the System Preferences “Keyboard & Mouse Settings”.”"

Thanks BUT having trouble setting up this short-cut. I try to add it (in sys pref —>kybd&mous setting—>+Application) but it doesn’t take.

What am i doing wrong please?

I would check back here in the next few weeks: Some new scripts are coming… and I think yours may be one of them!

So — PDF Archive , Mail Tags support….

Who else has suggestions for the next round of improvements?
