So you'd say "aha! `On My Mac' is an account..."

So, I tried that. I think we have a bug here. If I use an outer mailbox under the "On My Mac" heading instead of 'mailbox 1', the 'get container ...' should respond with an error, but instead the response to the console is '<<class mact>> "On My Mac" '. (on error is not invoked in the try block.) Something is amiss here.

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

So, I tried this ...

tell application "Mail"
	activate
	try
		set frontViewer to (message viewer 1)
	on error
		return
	end try
	--------------------
	repeat with j from 1 to (count mailboxes)
		set selected mailboxes of frontViewer to {mailbox j}
		delay 0.3
	end repeat
end tell

and immediately noticed that mailboxes NOT under the heading "On My Mac" are selected.
The purpose of the 'On_My_Mac(mbox)' handler is to return true only if the 'mbox' is under the heading "On My Mac" in the frontViewer's mailbox list. The current handler seems to do this correctly ... but not simply.


So close, yet ... ?
