kiddokay Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Hi, Emailing with the email keyword is working with Airmail. But sending files via the Email to option in Alfred opens mail.app instead of Airmail. Airmail is the default email client. I am using Mavericks. Best, Fokke Link to comment

Best, Fokke What version of Alfred are you currently using? Support for Airmail was added in version 2.2 Link to comment
kiddokay Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 V 2.3(264) The workflow that uses the Mail.app is: search for file and then use Email or Email to both options use mail instead of Airmail. Airmail is the default mail app. I use OSX mavericks. Link to comment
jdfwarrior Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 V 2.3(264) The workflow that uses the Mail.app is: search for file and then use Email or Email to both options use mail instead of Airmail. Airmail is the default mail app. I use OSX mavericks. I know you've mentioned several times that Airmail is the default app but are you quite certain of that? The reason I ask is, support for emailing files with Airmail is accomplished through AppleScript. In order for Alfred to support attaching files to an email with a client, that client must support AppleScript. However, using the email keyword does NOT use AppleScript and therefore will work for any client. Alfred does this by handing of the task of creating a new mail message with the default client to OS X. If you were to open a Terminal and type "open mailto:someone@email.com", that is the equivalent of what Alfred does. OS X handles the opening of the mail client, and it uses the default. If using the "Email" keyword is opening Mail.app instead of Airmail, that seems like Mail.app is actually your default email app instead. Could you double check this setting by opening Mail.app, pressing Cmd+, to view the preferences, then select the General tab (if it isn't already selected). There should be an option there that says "Default email reader" and it should be set to Airmail, not Mail. Could you confirm this for me? Link to comment
judas Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hi. I'm also experiencing this issue, and would like to hear what people have done to solve it. In particular, I'm using Airmail Beta. -I have double checked in Mail.app preferences and Airmail Beta IS selected as the default email app. -When in Alfred, if I write "email ju***@domain.com", then a new email is opened correctly in Airmail. But if i select a file, action it and select "email or email to.." then Mail.app is opened and the file attached there. As a sidenote, just in case it helps, I have managed to create a Print-PDF workflow by just adding Airmail to the options, and it correctly attaches a file to a new Airmail message. Thanks!

The problem with Airmail Beta could be that the AppleScript dictionary is slightly different for it than AirMail. I think I remember this from before (I wrote the AppleScript that added support for AirMail), in AppleScript you "tell" an application to do something, e.g. tell application "Finder" to do <this>. The script is written to tell "AirMail" but I think I remember that the beta of AirMail is referred to as AirMail Beta and not AirMail. Which means that the AppleScript would have to be modified to work with AirMail. Either that or make a plugin Link to comment
tea Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm pretty sure you're right, David. I've had to modify a few workflows because of this. Is it possible to modify this type of default behavior to work properly with the beta? Link to comment
judas Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 It works for me if I rename "Airmail Beta" to "Airmail". Shouldn't it wokr with an Alias /Symlink? Link to comment
hpsauce Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hi, If I rename "Airmail 2" to "Airmail", the app no longer opens. Could someone point me to the location of the Applescript handling this so I can attempt to fix it by renaming the app in there? I couldn't see anything relevant in Application Support. Cheers HP Link to comment

hpsauce Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hello Peba, Unfortunately, when I try that, Airmail no longer opens. I think a better solution than renaming the app every time a new version comes is to remake or alter the existing script. Does anyone know where to find it? Link to comment

Francis You can update to the Alfred 3.1 pre-release (by going to the Update tab and choosing "pre-releases" from the dropdown menu at the bottom) which offers support for Airmail 3 Cheers, Vero cands 1 Link to comment
zhoujl Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Is there a plan to support spark.app? my version is v3.3.2[817], it seems not working with spark. Link to comment
Vero Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 @zhoujl Unlikely, as there's no support for AppleScript in Spark, as per this conversation thread. Might be worth getting in touch with Spark, letting them know you're interested in AppleScript support. Cheers, Vero Link to comment
