AS to create a new AppleMail account


  • Subject: AS to create a new AppleMail account

Could someone help me determine the syntax of how I a script could be written to add a new mail account to AppleMail in OS 10.1?

I _think_ that the "account" property under "Message suite" in the Applescript dictionary of AppleMail would be the way to go from what I can tell, but I'm not sure what the syntax would look like.

What I'd like to be able to do is:

1) determine if the account I want to add has been added already.
2) If not, create a new one, filling in the Description, Email Address, Full Name, Host Name, User Name, Password, SMTP Host, and if possible, check the "Use authentification when sending email" checkbox.

The reason I'm not sure if this is possible, is because I don't see anything in the dictionary that references SMTP.
