Apple

set theMsgs to every message of mailbox "barbaric" whose id is 178

set theMsg to first item of theMsgs

move theMsg to mailbox "Duplicate Emails"

Works..

...what I was doing was assigning "theMsgs" to a list, but in the next line not using that assignment. Must be tired. Also, not quite used to the tricky language of AS yet.

Thank you again and a great New year.

Michael.

Here is the script that I am trying to use to move targeted emails.

set theMsgs to every message of mailbox "Foo" of account "Comcast" whose id is 18198
set theMsg to item 1 of mailbox "Foo"
move theMsg to mailbox "Foo_Duplicates"

Error: Cannot get account "Comcast"
Removing the account name gives an error "Cannot get mailbox "Foo"

And yes...these mailboxes exist!!

The error message is in error. Is the account a POP account or an SMTP account? If it is a POP account, the problem is that POP accounts evidently do not contain mailboxes; only SMTP accounts do.

Mailboxes also belong to message viewers and the application. But message viewer does not have a message property, although it does have a selected message property.

These work:
tell application "Mail"
mailboxes
end tell

tell application "Mail"
mailbox 1
end tell

tell application "Mail"
mailbox "Applescript"
end tell

tell application "Mail"
tell message viewer 1
selected mailboxes
end tell
end tell

These don't:

tell application "Mail"
tell message viewer 1
mailbox "Applescript"
end tell
end tell

tell application "Mail"
tell message viewer 1
mailbox 1
end tell
end tell

tell application "Mail"
tell message viewer 1
item 1 of selected mailboxes
end tell
end tell

tell application "Mail"
tell message viewer 1
mailboxes
end tell
end tell

Maybe that will give you enough information to solve your problem.
