Yesterday, I wrote a quickie script to scan Mail's mailboxes to
determine if mailboxes need rebuilding. The test is to compare the
message count with the file count in the /Users/<username>/Library/
Mail/.../Messages/ folder. If they are not equal, the mailbox needs
rebuilding. The source of this problem is ...
tell application "Mail" to delete msg
which does move the message and its associated file into the Trash
mailbox, but leaves a copy of the .emlx file in the original
Messages folder.
I tried to fix this with ...
tell application "Mail" to move msg to trash mailbox
or
tell application "Mail" to move msg to (trash mailbox of frontViewer)
But this DOES NOT move anything. I've tried all sorts of variations
on this theme, and 'move' does not move anything. Perhaps I haven't
got the syntax exactly right, but it seems to comply with the
dictionary.
Does anyone know more? (If its a bug, I guess it should be reported.)
Hello Luther,
This one works perfectly for me here (Mail 3.5):
tell application "Mail" to delete first message of mailbox "INBOX" of
account "Swing"
But a slight delay may occur before the emlx is effectively removed
from the INBOX.mbox directory on the disk, as if Mail were performing
cleaning tasks at intervals.
Axel
