I've been working on my On_My_Mac handler (below) yesterday afternoon and all this morning. I haven't been able to improve on the old original, but I did make some minor changes. I did discover, using
set mboxName to (name of selMailbox)
that:
The Inbox is named "Inbox" and its sub-mailboxes are named "INBOX";
The Sent mailbox is names "Sent" and its sub-mailboxes begin with "Sent Messages";
The Trash mailbox is named "Trash" and its sub-mailboxes begin with "Deleted Messages";
The Junk mailbox is named "Junk" and its sub-mailboxes begin with "Junk";
The Drafts mailbox is named "Drafts" and its sub-mailboxes begin with "Drafts".

Mailboxes "On My Mac" have no account.
(But I have encountered error messages that seem to refer to an "On My Mac" account.)

And now my question: Isn't there a simple way to determine if a mailbox is "On My Mac"?
(I've been looking for a long time, but have found nothing.)



Luther
the answer is "Yes".
All the mailboxes that have no account.
They are the first mailboxes. You can reach them directly without calling the account

tell app "Mail"
set l to count mailboxes
repeat with j from 1 to l
display dialog "mailbox " & j &" is an \"On My Mac\" mailbox"
end repeat
to get the others:

tell app "Mail"
tell accounts to tell mailboxes to ...
<  >
end tell
