Turns out I had to make IMAP the <<Dominant>> user in order to create

allow it. Silly.
However, 'file of mailbox [anything]' always gives me the In box file.
Are you talking IMAP still? It can't happen with ordinary mailboxes
tell app "Eudora" to file of mailbox 2
--> file "dxp:Users:jd:Documents:Eudora Folder:Mail Folder:Out"
It did, but at this point I've forgotten what my syntax was. <g>
In any case, I'm still having errors with folders outside the Mail
Folder hierarchy. Can't get file at all on those because the
reference is invalid. After all, if I can't get the name, then I
can't get the file either.
Again, this is with 5.1.1 -- dunno if it's a bug fixed in 5.2 or 6.x.
Wait -- I have a different problem now: I have to get the file on a
separate line:
file of mailbox of message 0
--> "Can't get file of mailbox of message 0."
mailbox of message 0
file of result
--> "OSX:Users:boo:Documents:Eudora Folder:Mail Folder:WWW:BAIUG:"
That's not a problem, that's syntax. You can't get the file of a
reference. 'result' in your example 2 is an object and you can
convert the reference to an object in the same line by using get...
tell app "Eudora" to file of (get mailbox of front message)
--> file "dxp:Users:jd:Documents:Eudora Folder:Mail Folder:Out"
Aha... so the 'get' is needed. I always thought 'get' was optional in
AppleScript; I guess Eudora uses it in a coercive way. :) Thanks for
the tip!
Wish I could get IMAP working, to connect to imap.cyrusoft.com.
(Works from Mulberry, but I can't find the right settings for
Eudora.)
My iMac account has just expired and if they want me to pay they can
make it free! But I had no problem with it while it was alive.
What do you get when you run this script:
tell app "Eudora"
tell personality some_IMAP_personality
{setting 244, setting 3, setting 5, setting 4}
end
end
--> {"y", "email@hidden", "email@hidden", "smtp.mac.com:user"}
I get {"y", "@imap.cyrusoft.com", "email@hidden",
"imap.cyrusoft.com"}
The connection problem appears to be that Eudora requires a password
even for an empty username, while Mulberry is happy to connect with
no username or password (for anonymous). Eudora won't let me click OK
without entering a password, so I can't connect to the anonymous
server.
I wanted to access the mulberry.discuss group. Oh well.
thanks,
