Mail Rule/Script... seems like this would be easy.... - jardster - 09-24-2010
I was hoping there was an easy way via a mail rule or automator to do the following, but haven't found it....
If an email comes to a certain email address, then take the attachment and move it to a certain folder in the finder.
That's it! Mail rule's don't seem to do this, and using Automator I don't seem to be able to move an attachment for 1 address only.
Any idea?

I haven't looked into this at all--
Will it do that rule/Script to all email addresses?
If so, what about forwarding anything from that particular address to a certain new (gmail) address/Mailbox, and then telling that new mailbox to do the action to "everything" that comes to that mailbox, and since it is only the forwarded things from that certain email address, it should work

I dunno, sounds kinda like a recipe for disaster. Especially if you're using IMAP. If you used the Mail rule to put the messages in their own folder, then you could use Automator or Hazel to move all the attachments for that mailbox to where ever it is you want it to go.
