Albert and AlbertX: An AppleScript launcher via E-Mail for your Macintosh.
Albert is a nifty little application that can launch Applescripts by sending it an email. You can use any email account to send Albert a command. Albert looks at the Subject line and first body line of each email for a special "Authorization code", and then launches any scripts listed in the body.
Please take note that Albert will DELETE any message sent to the account it checks if the Subject line or first line in the body matches the Authorization Code!
Albert must have a valid POP3 email account to check, and an SMTP server to send confirmation emails. Albert then checks each email for its "Authorization Code" as the subject or the first line of the body text. If it find a match, it then checks the body of the email for any commands to run scripts.
The scripts must be stored in the folder called "Scripts", which is located in the same folder as Albert (you can make an alias to another folder, as long as the alias is named "Scripts"). The scripts must be fully compiled Applescripts. Read-Only will work just fine, too.
