Questions & Suggestions

Hey guys I’m a noob on this, but so far am really enjoying this app.

I’m looking for a way to automate this routine I have to deal with my students’ homework:

  1. Download every attachment from a specific Mail Folder every week, and save them to a local OS X folder;

  2. Rename those files with sender’s name and date received;

  3. Fetch the names and files to an excel spreadsheet for grading.

That would be the holy grail for me. Thanks for any help!
