Google - Imap - Mail Problem

Hello everybody,

got a problem in the combination of Google with Imap in Mail. A very simple AppleScript

set theAccount to "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz"
tell application "Mail" to return mailboxes of the account theAccount

returns the following

mailbox "[Google Mail]/All Mail" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail",
mailbox "[Google Mail]/Drafts" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail",
mailbox "[Google Mail]/Sent Mail" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail",
mailbox "[Google Mail]/Spam" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail",
mailbox "[Google Mail]/Starred" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail",
mailbox "[Google Mail]/Trash" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail",
mailbox "Deleted Messages" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail",
mailbox "Drafts" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail",
mailbox "Drafts (chbt/amcs/bigfoot/ch23/h.c)" of account "chbt/amcs/ xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail", <-- problem here
mailbox "freecycle" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail",
mailbox "Junk E-mail" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail",
mailbox "Sent Items" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail",
mailbox "Sent Messages (gmail:chbt/amcs/bigfoot)" of account "chbt/ amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail", <-- problem here
mailbox "Apple Mail To Do" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail",
mailbox "INBOX" of account "chbt/amcs/xxx/yyy/zzz" of application "Mail"


Then my code fishes out the mailboxes and changes this to path information, where a slash is part of the mailbox name. The problem is the second row with the drafts, same for the sent messages. There the slash is part of the account name and not part of the mailbox name.

Has anyone seen this before?
Where does this come from? I don't see mailboxes like this for my Imap Google account.
Should I simply do a regex with bracket + account name + bracket and delete the mailbox in this case?



Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards
