make new draft window with properties {account:POP account "Account
Name"}
You have to use the name (or ID) of the account and always refer to it as a
'POP account' or 'IMAP account' or 'Hotmail account' as the case may be.
Those are the classes , not 'account'.
If you don't know the name of the account but only the email address then
you'll have to do this:
try
set theAccount to first POP account where its email address is
"email@hidden"
on error
try
set theAccount to first IMAP account where its email address is
"email@hidden"
on error
set theAccount to first Hotmail account where its email address
is "email@hidden"
end try
end try
make new draft window with properties {account:theAccount}
it's a real bother. there's a feature request in for a super-class
'account'.
You _have_ to use 'where its', not 'whose', as in the examples above because
there's a class 'email account' (element of 'contact') which takes
precedence over the account property 'email address' , so AppleScript gets
confused if you don't include 'its'.
