It doesn't seem to be the case. It seems to actually be a "dummy" mailbox because it can't contain messages, but it can contain other mailboxes. My problem is that I can find a way to reference it programatically (For other mailboxes I get all the mailboxes for Mail and cycle through them until I find the name I want).

I do know that I've gotten grey mailboxes when I've emptied a mailbox, but it still had sub folders with mail in them.

It didn't turn grey after deleting the mailbox inside it: It was grey since Mail performed the import.

That's not what I said; I said I've had it turn grey when I've emptied it (of messages), but it still had folders inside it. That's what you have, a folder with folders inside it, but no messages inside it.


The only way to handle it is to manually change the "To" addressee to the list. I go one step further and manually change the "Reply to" address to the list as well.

Nicely done. Indeed, when I hit reply, it replied to the list!

Maybe I should write a script to do it for me. <g>

Please share if you do!

Outgoing messages is so broken that I can't figure out how to get it to work. Seems there's no way to reference an outgoing message unless it is a new message created by a script. Forwarded messages and replies created by a script do not have an ID (at least not one that Applescript sees) and Applescript can't see any other outgoing messages.
