Hi,
Does anyone know of a tweak or 3rd party program / patch to restore the bounce button capability?
It seems like I found a possible work around this morning that added the bounce function back via a tweak of the Mark Message as Junk button, but my first attempt at implementing it did not work and I can't find that thread again.
Thanks much!
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7), Late 2010, OS X 10.7, pimpin' hard
Fabulous. had no experience in Apple script but followed your instructions. Tested it from one of my accounts. Looking good.
Thanks, charrison.
Thank you. This worked perfectly, and I added the
"delete eachmessage"
command the the new service as well.
My spamfilters and junk filters work pretty well, but the well-intentioned (older) friends who keep sending me garbage and messages that have been forwarded 10 times already are now going to get bounced every time. Thanks for making my day.
Thank you for finding the solution to bring it back.
Many thanks, charrison! It's working great for me.
Thanks, charrison. Works.
For those having problems implementing charrison's fix:
I'm posting a link to an Automator workflow that works. Click here to download it.
Thanks!! That worked just perfect. Like a charm.
Thanks JBWTucker - that worked a treat.
Never realised how much I used the Bounce function until now!
Is very useful for people who have accidently sent stuff to me due to mis-spellings etc...
Thanks a ton! Regardless of the dispute about bouncing mail, I liked "Bounce" and I don't need anyone to tell me what I like or want. This Automator workflow worked like a charm and I love having the "Bounce" option back! Thanks again.
RougeMonk,
Were you able to resolve the issue with the messages re-appearing after your delete?
No. It still happens.
I did not have any trouble with the message re-appearing, but, I only tested two messages. I will let you know if I have any issues with the script.
I am still having problems with the deleted messages re-appearing after restarting mail.
If I then manually delete them and empty the trash, they stay deleted.
I did alter the script a bit to mark the message as junk prior to bouncing. Other than that everything matches CHarrison's script with the delete.
I don't see why the addition would make the message reappear, but here is is in case anyone has any suggestions.
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Mail"
repeat with eachMessage in input
set junk mail status of eachMessage to true
bounce eachMessage
delete eachMessage
end repeat
end tell
end run
It seem that it only happens with my imap accounts, not my pop accounts.
I changed the line
delete eachMessge to move eachMessage to mailbox "Trash"
and after some initial testing that seems to have done the trick.
Restore bounce to Mail in Lion
