scripting mail to select mailboxes


  • Subject: scripting mail to select mailboxes

I have my mail on a local imap server, with incoming mail filtered into several mailboxes via procmail. So therefore, my default view is to have several (currently 11) mailboxes simultaneously selected, so I see the union of all messages. First off, this makes mail really slow, but that's another topic. Second, I need a way to quickly select my set of mailboxes in a viewer window (if I select the Sent box for an instant, I have to get back to my set). Command-clicking my 11 boxes each time is a waste of time, but I don't see anything in Mail's dictionary that refers to the selected mailboxes -- only the selected messages.

Can anyone suggest a good way of scripting this behavior (other than via UI scripting, which would be a hack)?

Thanks.
