Title: Re: Getting the location of mailboxes from mail/Eudora
As always a bit more complicated

tell application "Eudora"
        get file of mailbox "ACC Accounts" of mail folder "Administration"
end tell
returns:
mitchMac:Users:johnm:Documents:Work:Eudora (jmitch):Mail Folder:Administration:ACC Accounts

I'm pretty sure that Eudora requires that either the Eudora Folder or an alias or symlink to it reside in ~/Documents. So from there, it's Eudora Folder/Mail Folder/<MAILBOX_NAME>. And since each mailbox is a text file, there is no file location to an individual message. You'd have to somehow read the .toc file to parse that (if it's possible).
