Backup e-mails


  • Subject: Backup e-mails
  • From: John Lynch <email@hidden>
  • Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2004 10:51:25 -0800

I wanted to write a script to backup my e-mails to an external hard
drive. I copied a script and tweaked it so it would be able to copy my
inbox.
tell application "Finder"
duplicate folder "INBOX.mbox" of folder "email@hidden"
of folder "mail" of folder "library" of folder "johnlynch" of folder
"users" of startup disk to disk "external hard drive" with replacing
end tell
I get an error message that states: can't set disk to "external hard
drive" of folder ,,,,,,,,, . I checked the dictionary and it seems to
me that this is a scriptable action. I was wondering if their is
something wrong with the script or if I need to save my messages a
certain way for this script to work.
Thanks,
John
