Hi!

Is there an action to activate the "From" dropdown in Mac Mail so I can arrow up and down to select the From email account?

Thanks!  
Craig

This apple script (use the Run Apple Script action) should do that:

```auto
tell application "System Events" to click pop up button 2 of window 1 of application process "Mail"

```

Thanks for the response! That did not seem to work. Did I do something wrong?

are you on macOS 14.5? (these scripts tend to be pretty specific and updates can break them)

//edit: ah you need to use the „run apple script“ not java script action

Yes, OS 14.5., but Apple script worked like a charm.

Thanks!
