Select all the text in script shell script box and copy and paste the command below depending on which version of the OS is running on your Mac.Drag the Run Shell Script action into the Workflow area underneath the Quit Application action.In the search field above the list of actions, type shell.When you’ve finished steps 4, 5, and 6, your workflow window should look like this.Our second step is to issue a command using the shell, an interface to the UNIX system that is running on your Mac.

Our goal is this: Make Mail faster by cleaning up the mail database.īecause it’s not a good idea to try to do maintenance on an open Mail database, it’s best to quit Mail first, clean things up, then re-open Mail and see if the clean-up resulted in a speed-up.Īutomator executes a series of actions to achieve a result. Lucky for you there’s a fairly simple solution, made even simpler by using Automator, Apple’s easy-to-use app for automating tasks that often need to be performed repeatedly.Īnd isn’t that at least part of the reason why people invented computers to begin with–to handle the mundane tasks that repeatedly pop up in our lives? One reason why this can happen is because the database used by Mail to store messages can grow to a large size thanks to message fragmenting and gaps in the database when messages are deleted. If you’re using Apple’s Mail application on the Mac you’ve probably seen the app slow down over time.
