Thanks. Exactly what I needed. I have been working on a script since
about 7am, today. Trying to get it to work in both Leopard and Tiger.
All these hours later, I finally found that mailbox paths returned by
Tiger's Mail have no colon at the end while those returned by Leopard
do. So ...
POSIX path of acntDir
if (last character of acntDir) = ":" then
set acntDir to (POSIX file the result) as text
else
set acntDir to ((POSIX file the result) as text) & ":"
end if
And now it works in both Tiger and Leopard. All day poking around in
code and the problem was only a colon. Hate it when that happens!

Yes. POSIX file.
set f to POSIX file

I have a path to a folder that looks like this ...

I can easily convert it to an alias in a few lines of code using
text item
delimiters ("/" --> ":") and adding the disk name as a prefix.
Can this be done with one command? Something like the reverse of
posix path?
