It appears that mail is unable to create new mail folders anywhere other than in the local folder hierarchy (under 'on my computer')

there, you can create subfolders with the construction:

make new mailbox with properties {name: "test"}
make new mailbox with properties {name: "test/test2"}

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 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

I've tried google for answers but simply do not understand what I read
as I'm new to the mac and applescript. Can someone please help before
the suicide rate goes up by one:)


Regards,

Mark Lawrence

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

TIA.

Mark Lawrence
