All sage advice.
The problem I keep running into seems two fold.
There seems to be a limit on the number of files ( in this case Mail
files ie emails) that one can move at one time. Exceeding this mystery
number leads to the error that Mail is unresponsive. OTOH, looping
through a number of mails, one at a time, does seem to hit a speed
bump at some point. but the point raised about the implementation of
the loop may have played a role.
I do take the other points about not starting with Mail, but the AS
mail scripting program I saw does not work for me, and I am trying to
write something that I have needed on more than one occasion.
Besides, I like the challenge and the chance to interact with really
smart and intelligent programmers!!! :-)

When you move files by counting down they don't get reordered.
A good explanation and solution, but why index the files at all?
If you are moving ALL the files in a folder, you can do this ...
tell application "Finder"
repeat until (count files of somefolder) = 0
move (some file of somefolder) to someotherfolder
end repeat
end tell
Other than illustrating loops, why not this:
tell application "Finder" to move files of somefolder to
someotherfolder
-- Michelle
Now, that's a one-liner that I like. Never use a loop you can avoid.
