Title: Re: Getting the location of mailboxes from mail/Eudora
My experiments reveal these ideas:

-- Everyone has an "In" box, so
tell application "Eudora" to set L to file of mailbox "In"
tell application "Finder" to set mF to container of L as alias

-- Then to get name of every other mailbox
tell application "Finder" to set boxes to name of mF's entire contents

-- Get toc of every mailbox -- returns them but you can't read them.
set tx to {}
tell application "Eudora"
        repeat with aMB in boxes
                set end of tx to (get toc location of mailbox aMB)
      end repeat
end tell

-- I've never found a better way of finding a particular message than this. Filters don't seem to work.
set S to {}
tell application "Eudora"
   set c to count messages of mailbox "Software"
   repeat with k from c to 1000 by -1
              tell message k of mailbox "Software" to if subject contains "PageSpinner" then set S's end to k
end repeat
      set t to body of message (item 1 of S) of mailbox "Software"
end tell

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know if its possible to obtain the file location (path to) of a specified mailbox (or individual message). For example, what I'd like to do is ...

tell application "Mail"

    set filePath to location of mailbox "Test" as alias

end tell

Does anyone know a way of doing this.

Thanks in advance for any help given
