Mail2iCal - 1.6

I've been using this for just over a week now and so far so good. I had one glitch whereby I hadn't moved the preference file into (/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences). I'd emailed the developer and had a prompt and helpful response which solved this. It's worth a note that I had to switch off FileVault to successfully install this (Switching it back on after installation is fine). Overall I'm very pleased with this extremely useful script.

I would like to thank Georg Klein of Kleinware. These days we expect software to be great and to work perfectly. Kleinware does that so that hurdle is passed. The differentiation is in the experience dealing with the company behind it. I had some strange installation issues and Georg worked very effeciently to resolve my issue. I will recommend this software to everyone I know on OS X.

I think Mail2iCal is great. I recently upgraded from 1.1.4 to 1.3 and found that there has been a change in how the email is transferred to an event. Specifically, I used to be prompted to designate on which calendar I wanted the email event to register. Now, it creates a new calendar called "Email". You can then designate another calendar if you want. The problem is that every time you add an email event (or To Do item if using the Mail2ToDo script), there is a new Email calendar added. There is now an extra step of deleting these added calendars--something I didn't have to do with the earlier version of the script. For what it's worth, I much prefer the other way.

As a former Entourage user, where there was a similar script for creating events out of emails, I liked having the options for selecting the day and time before the event got posted. I know that beggars ought not be choosers, but I thought I'd offer my two cents.

Thanks for your hard work on the script.

Hi, I'm trying to get both this script and Mail2iCalToDo working, but they both download as a .app and whether I trigger them from the Applescript menu or I doubleclick them myself, they try to open the Classic environment.

Is there something I need to do to the script? I also tried opening it in the Script Editor, but it looks like they don't open as a proper applescript so I couldn't work with it in there.

Any help is much appreciated!

I installed iCal 1.5.1 and now Mail2iCal has stopped working. It creates an entry in iCal for a split seconds and then the event disappears. Shame--it's a great script that I've used over and over again. Nestor
