i created a rule in mail.app which will redirect any email that i get to my cellphone's email address. so when i am out i can get my email on my cellphone.

i was wondering if it would be possible to make an applescript that will enable and disable this rule. instead of me going into mail's preferences > rules > check/uncheck rule.

and if even more advanced. would it be possible that when i change my status to "gone out" in proteus _then_ the script runs. that would be cool.

Simple answer: yes, AppleScript can do everything you are looking to do.

But instead of tuning another rule on or off, you have to instead perform all of the actions from the AppleScript script. I am not going to write the script for you, but here are some big hints to get you in the right direction:

Code:
tell application "Proteus"
	set currentStatusString to title of current status as string
end tell

display dialog currentStatusString

Here is a good reference to what your AppleScript handler will have to look like:

And you can get a list of the commands that Mail.app supports by dragging the program icon onto the "Script Editor" icon.
