Saving a Mail Attachment

AppleScript
#1

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me. I am trying to create a very simple script to save the mail attachment from a mail message into a specific folder. This script is invoked by a mail rule and there is always only one attachment and I want it always saved in the same folder, so very simple… BUT I can’t get it to work. I have found numerous examples of more complicated routines which purport to do the same thing but can’t get any off them to work either… This is my first AppleScript so I am an admitted novice but I have invested over 20 hours trying to get this thing to work… For simplicity I have stripped this down to the bare minimum code which I think I need to have to get it to work but still receive an error. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated…

Here is my sample code for doing this.

Two things I notice in your code:

  1. You don’t include the message and the mail attachment (messages may have many attachments) to be saved.
  2. You are specifying the save location as a string when it needs to be a file or posix path value instead.
