I have spent a few more hours on this and still cannot make a message delete or move from a mailbox. I have two 10.2.9 machines and it fail on both. I must have some syntax wrong. Can anybody suggest anything please. I need to clean out all messages in this mailbox once a day.
Thanks.

I'm scripting an older version of Mail app 1.2.5 (v553) under OSX 10.2.8
I need to delete messages out of a specific mailbox. Things look right but I always get an error and can't delete items. I can grab the contents of messages in this mailbox so I know I have my spelling correct to refer to what I'm asking for. This works on another computer running Mail 1.3.9 (v619/619.2) under OSX 10.3.7 but I need to have it work under older versions. I'm I missing any syntax ?
Thanks,
Steven


tell application "Mail"
set Amessage to message 1 of mailbox "BackLog Queue PPD"
delete Amessage
end

Event Log
tell application "Mail"
get message 1 of mailbox "BackLog Queue PPD"
delete message 1 of mailbox "BackLog Queue PPD"
--> Mail got an error: NSInternalScriptError
