API for Apple mail.app? Not Public?

Hi!

I was looking into Apple Mail.App plugin development and I found nothing in regards to a public api for mail.app, except that there were many websites that said there is no such thing?!

Is that correct? I honestly can't believe it?!

Cheers, alex25

Yes. Any and all Mail plugin development is using reverse engineered information.

not the answer I hoped for, but thanks for clarifying this!

Mail.app does have a fairly extensive scriptable interface including provisions for scripts being called from mail rules, so you *might* find that you can do what you want to do via that route.
