Mail.app - dictionary implementation questions.

Hi,

I have a short Applescript that copies my Mail account details between two computers. On my main computer Mail deletes emails when downloading and on the second computer I would like Mail to leave my emails on the server for download later. All seems to be working fine until I get to this block:

--change 'Remove copy from server' account preference to false
tell application "Mail"
tell pop account "crooked-eye"
-- the name of an account in Mail ('pop' seems to be arbitrary)
set delete mail on server to false
end tell
end tell

Although 'delete mail on server' is in the 'pop account' section of Mail.app dictionary and the script compiles and runs with no errors, the preference is not changed for the account in Mail.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? If not it seems that the dictionary for Mail is not fully supported. Why are there properties listed in the dictionary that are not supported, and how do you request that they will be in the future updates?

Also, does anyone know of another way of doing this, with Applescript or otherwise?

Thanks

John Maisey
