Hi Blake - perhaps a better (at least more concise) solution for the
select + scroll part of your script:
select row 2 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1
of window 1
set value of scroll bar 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group
1 of front window to 0.0

This script clears any search terms selects the inbox and displays the
newest message. Now I'm going to add it to my mail scripts..

I can easily select the second message in the list and use the up
arrow to display the first message. However I don't know how to have
applescript "push the up arrow key"..
More suggestions are welcome. I will post if I find and answer...
thanks,

I have already tried using the GUI scripting to select the first

Does anybody have some tricks up their sleve for doing this?
In the way of suggestion, and based on my manual (by hand, not
GUI) trials,
here is a manual action sequence which works, and which might be
able to be
simulated via GUI.
1. I select the first message in the current sort (the one at the
top, that
is). (You say you can do this by script, but it might still not
actually
"select" -- visually -- the item. I don't know.)
2. I scroll the window to very end of the message list, so I am
viewing the
bottom of the list (just to put me in a state where I need to
scroll back
up).
Okay, so now the "first" (top) is still selected (it's
highlighted in the
list with my selection color.)
3. Pressing the Down arrow once does, indeed, select the _second_
(from top)
message _and_ it scrolls the window to the top (again, the second
item is
still visually selected.)
4. An Up arrow then selects the first again and does not move the
scroll
position. I am at the top, with item 1 selected again.
If your current work has gotten you to the point, then, where the
first
(top) item is selected, then it seems that a Down arrow then Up
arrow
sequence might be tacked on to get you there...(?)
HTH,
