Could someone please help, I'm getting it in the neck from my boss.

1. Get a new vampire.
2. tell application "Mail" to make new mailbox with properties {name:"articles/print/journals"}

#2 works for me on 10.5.7.

Works fine for me on 10.5.6 but not what I want. To repeat my original request and add some extra bits.

I'm trying to automate the create of mailboxes and am failing dismally. The first piece of code shows that I can access the target mailbox and retrieve the contents.

tell application "Mail"

set supplierMailbox to mailbox "Suppliers" of mailbox "futuremedia" of account "shared"

set supplierMailbox to mailboxes in supplierMailbox

end tell

The response to this is a list the first entry being mailbox "user/futuremedia/Suppliers/2xstream" of account "shared" of application "Mail"

The next piece of code gives AppleScript Error Mail got an error: AppleEvent handler failed.
tell application "Mail"
set supplierMailbox to mailbox "Suppliers" of mailbox "futuremedia" of account "shared"
make new mailbox in supplierMailbox with properties {name:"test"}
end tell
Here's the console output which hopefully helps.
08/06/2009 11:05:45 Mail[1128] replaceInMailboxes:atIndex: called with value: <MailboxUid:0x175baab0 (relative path=, attributes=0x0)>

I've checked that there isn't a mailbox called test under the target Suppliers mailbox. I can manually create and delete a test mailbox under the target no problem.
