With the help of the list, I got the import working.

Now I have a follow up question.

If I run :
tell application "Mail"
	import Mail mailbox at "~/Temp/ylan.mbox"
end tell

I get a mailbox in Mail that is called "Import" (with a grey icon) and a mailbox within called "ylan" (with a blue icon) that contains the imported messages. So far, so good. I can know process the messages inside the "ylan" mailbox.


Does anybody know why the Import folder is grey? I can seem to get to it programatically. The top mailboxes of the application show a mailbox "Import/ylan" which I can manipulate, but they never show a mailbox "Import". I believe that the grey icon is telling me something, but I don't know what.

Also, if I browse through the ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes folder I notice that Import is the only folder that doesn't have a ".mbox" after it's name and coincidentally is the only "grey" mailbox.

Anyone care to shed some light into this?

(And another question: I am used when writting in lists, that when one hits reply, one is automatically replying to the list and not to the individual poster, but I think that all my previous replies to the list have gone to the poster instead, which was not my intention. Am I doing something wrong? How do you handle this?)
