用于在 Entourage 中循环消息并删除它们的 AppleScript 代码

Question

我编写了一个简单的 AppleScript，它在 Entourage Inbox 内无限循环并获取“未读”消息的主题：

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate

repeat with eachMsg in messages of folder named "Inbox"
    if read status of eachMsg is untouched then
        set messageSubject to subject of eachMsg as string

        -- bla bla bla

        -- How to delete the message and proceed with the next one???
    end if

end repeat

现在，问题是，我想在获取主题后删除消息。我该怎么做？你能给我写一个例子吗？

再次感谢！

一旦你删除了一条消息，你就改变了消息列表的长度，所以在某些时候，你会遇到一个不再存在的索引，因为你已经删除了足够多的消息。为了解决这个问题，您必须（本质上）对循环进行硬编码；获取消息数，并从最后一条消息开始并从那里向上移动。即使您删除了一条消息，当前消息之上的索引也将始终保持不变。未经测试，但这是我在其他地方使用过的模式...

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate
set lastMessage to count messages of folder named "Inbox"
repeat with eachMsg from lastMessage to 1 by -1
    set theMsg to message eachMsg of folder named "Inbox"
    if read status of theMsg is untouched then
        set messageSubject to subject of theMsg as string

        -- bla bla bla

        -- How to delete the message and proceed with the next one???
    end if

end repeat

Applescript 的“方便”语法有时并非如此，这就是为什么我通常完全避免使用它。

以下是 Microsoft Entourage 帮助页面上示例的片段（特别是“Nuke Messages”脚本）：

repeat with theMsg in theMsgs
    delete theMsg -- puts in Deleted Items folder
    delete theMsg -- deletes completely
end repeat
