Hi again,

Thanks for the advice. I will work on it and see what I can come up with. It's a good program and I purchased the lifetime upgrade package so I am willing to wait until that feature comes out sometime in the future. For my line of work, it is worth the extra inconvenience to have to manually close that process when I close out the email.

Thanks!

Hi again,

Please take a look at the screenshot. I already set up folder actions as detailed in your video. What I need to know is how to add a script to the lock part because as you can see there are only two options: Quit App and Lock Folder.

I don't see any option to run a script there.

Thanks! I think you pointed me in the right direction. But I am confused by something you wrote:

"But, we do have folder actions which you can use to run pre/post processing for each folder you unlock/lock.
Using this you can launch an application or script."

Here is the script I wrote which I have tested and works well to kill the process:

tell application "System Events"
if (application process "com.apple.internetaccounts" exists) then
   do shell script "killall com.apple.internetaccounts "
end if
end tell

But I don't see an option to open this script in Folder Action on a Lock action. I see where it could be opened on an unlock action but I need the script to run on the lock action.

Hi zsolt,

Thanks for your reply.

It's not a file that is open but rather a process.

It is called com.apple.internetaccounts which is actually the name of a folder in Libraries. When I manually kill that process through Activity Monitor, I am able to successfully lock the mail folder. But it's a pain having to do that every time.

For whatever reason, this process continues to run even after the Mail App has been closed. I've looked all over for a solution to this but no one seems to be talking about it on the internet.

Terminating this process after the app has been closed has no ill effects on the mail app. Is there anyway to set it so that Espionage can override the process and force quit the app?

Hi everyone,

I love this program and I set up the mail encryption according to the video but whenever I try to lock the mail folder, I always get this error:

The folder 'Mail' could not be locked because it is being used by: com.apple.internetaccounts

Of course, I can go in and close this process manually and the mail folder will lock but that is quite inconvient.

I also tried to see if I could write an Applescript to close this process after closing mail automatically but no so such luck.

This is a deal breaker for me and I am thinking about returning the software. I'm hoping someone could help!

Thanks.
