Apple

I'm an "old" guy who is trying to write some scripts on a Mac under Leopard (10.5.2).

I have no other objective than success in my idea...

I learn in part with reading the messages on your list that I have discovered by chance...

You surely notice also that english is not my native language...

My problem with Mail is in impossibility (for me!) to correctly manage "windows"

I did n't success to put the open window on an accoun or a mailbox and open window with a message in it.

An example of my test script

tell application "Mail"

set a to number of mailbox

set b to 1

repeat until b > a

set ll to name of mailbox (b)

---display alert quote & ll & quote

set bb to count of message of mailbox ll (* OK *)

set xx to unread count of mailbox ll

display alert quote & "name of mailbox" & quote & " : " & ll & " Nombre de messages = " & bb & ", non lus : " & xx & ".

How to open window of "name of mailbox"?

How to open the unread message window?

set b to b + 1

end repeat

end tell

I notice also some strange "things" with Mail.

For example :

In my Mail application (v 3.2), I have organized my mail boxes (folders -"mailbox" for Mail- where my rules extract messages) and I have some sub-folders in them in accordance to the domain.

It's impossible in scripts to access to that sub-folders.

I obtain the list of folders in a pseudo alphabetic order where sub-folders appear first.

It's not a matter if I could obtain the list of sub-folders but I never success…

I success to get the content of a message (text) but not to open the message window.

The Mail Appplescript dictionnary seems poor...

Have you some examples in your bags with Mail scripting for help me.

I only will success for the "fun"

Thanks for your help when you have time…
