Send Mail script failure in OS X

April 5, 200223 yr

FMP 5.5 on Mac OS X - Send Mail script does nothing. I tested it on an existing database that works well in OS 9, and on a simple new database with no complexities - Just a simple, show-the-dialog, Send Mail script. Internet Control panel is correctly set (I think). Default email client is Entourage. Entourage works fine independently. Can anyone help?

Thanks. -dp

It probably is working...check your drafts folder in Entourage...you should find the emails there. If I am correct...I believe I saw that this script function isn't fully functional in OS X...some items are still missing or it is a bug or something...but it does create the email. Anyway...that is what it does on my machines.

Hope this helps.

I should have noted in my original post that we checked the Drafts folder, also. Nothing. I was not aware of the possibility that Send Mail is not fully functional in OS X. If anyone has further details, I would like to hear it. Thanks for your reply. -dp

Hi,

you might want to look at this site. They have a lot of applescripts for sending mail.

Guaranteed everytime.

And look for Create Mail Example v5

Weird...I know it doesn't work how I'd like, but it does work in my drafts folder. Here's to fully functional FMP for OS X! And I'm using the pre-release 5.5.2 that works with Mobile 2.
