Can I use the 2011 email script to send emails directly to the DevonThink inbox?

I have been reprimanded in the past for trying to apply old posts and scripts to DevonThink Pro 3, and would now like the OK before proceeding.

Objective: find a way to send emails directly to my DevonThinkPro3 Inbox

My plan:

  • create an apple mail rule to be able to identify those emails (no problem)

  • run a script to send them to my DevonThink inbox

  • may I simply add the script below to my library ?

  • is there another way?

thank you in advance

As already suggested I would highly recommend to ignore such ancient posts as many of them are really outdated. DEVONthink 3 includes scripts for Apple Mail, also for rules. The scripts can be installed via DEVONthink 3 > Install Add-Ons…

Thank you Christian.

I had already installed the mail plugin.

What I am trying to understand is how to trigger the plugin with apple mail rule which identifies emails that I want to send to DevonThink Inbox.

As far as I understand, a rule can only trigger a script, not a menu command.

My objective is for the whole process to be automatic and transparent as in
EMail with identifier comes in → identified by rule (for example @senttoDevonThink in the subject line) → automatically send to DevonThink Inbox

The only practical option I have is to run a script. I don’t see how I can use the plugin which is a menu item.

I am sure that there is something that I don’t understand.

thank you again

That’s not what I suggested. This option installs the scripts:

And afterwards you can use the installed scripts in Apple Mail’s rules:
