Mail Rules window says "No Scripts Installed" next to "Run AppleScript"

Question

Mail Rules window says "No Scripts Installed" next to "Run AppleScript"

I'm trying to create a rule in Mail that will run an AppleScript. But when I choose "Run AppleScript" in the action section of the rule-creation window, the dropdown to the right says "No Scripts Installed".

If I click on that dropdown, it has one option: "Open in Finder". When I choose that, a Finder window opens to the folder Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail/. I dropped my AppleScript file into that folder, but when I tried again to make a rule, I still got the "No Scripts Installed" dropdown.

I'm running Mail version 6.3 in OS X 10.8.3.

Any idea how to get this working properly? Thanks.

When Finder opens the directory for your AppleScript (in the case of OS 10.9.1, "Library>Application Scripts>com.apple.mail"), make sure your script (not a shortcut to your script) is copied there. Once it is, you will see the script in the dropdown menu where you initially saw "No Scripts Installed".

Hope this helps.

It worked. Thanks!

Now: Can you help me remember what script I wanted to put into that folder? 😕
