Hi,

I have searched the web and archives and still can not find a way to add a message programatically to a mailbox using applescript.

I would have thought something like this would work:

tell application "Mail" to make new message in mailbox (mailbox "test") with properties {subject:"test subject", contents:"test contents"}

but I get:

make new message with properties {subject:"test", contents:"this is a test"} at mailbox (mailbox "test")
--> Mail got an error: NSInternalScriptError

In the Script Editor Event Log.

I have tried countless variations (including ones that throw no errors but create no messages).

What am I missing?

What happens if you use this?

make new message with properties {subject:"test", contents:"this is a test"} at end of mailbox (mailbox "test")

I don't use Mail but, if recall correctly, mailbox is a property of a message. Maybe this would work (untested and uncompiled):

make new message with properties {subject:"test", contents:"this is a test", mailbox:"test"}
