I did try changing the slash to colon, as you suggested. But
still, nothing seems to happen. Any other suggestions?
Code:
tell application "Finder" to set temp to (path to home folder from
user domain as text) & "Temp:ylan.mbox"
tell application "Mail" to import Mail mailbox at temp
Event log:
tell application "Finder"
path to home folder from user domain as text
"ylan:"
end tell
tell application "Mail"
import Mail mailbox at "ylan:Temp:ylan.mbox"
end tell
The only thing that I can think of is that although the dictionary
says you need a string, you might need an alias.
So change the first line to
tell application "Finder" to set temp to ((path to home folder from
user domain as text) & "Temp:ylan.mbox") as alias
If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas.
Still, no luck. Thanks for your help. I just don't get why it is not
doing anything (visibly) but not giving an error either.
Anyone else want to chime in?
