Apple

Something like:

set allFolders to folders of account YYY

set theFolder to choose from list allFolders with multiple selections not allowed

Hope it helps...

Not sure which question is more appropriate –
    What is wrong with my script?
    or
    How would an applescript guru approach this problem?

After reading the mail in my Entourage inbox, I want to move the messages to other folders.
        -- This works fine as long as the folder is local. Doesn't work for an IMAP folder (or Exchange?)
      -- I am using an IMAP server on google right now. But I can get an exchange account
      -- for testing, if needed.
       tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
           set theSelectedMessages to selection
           display dialog "Choose a mailbox." default answer ""
           set theFolder to (text returned of result) as string
           repeat with theMessage in theSelectedMessages
               -- move theMessage to folder theFolder in exchange account "foo goo"
               move theMessage to folder theFolder
           end repeat
       end tell
This allows me to move messages around from folder to folder, as long as the folders are “On My Computer”

The following modification doesn’t seem to do any good:
        move theMessage to folder theFolder in IMAP account "foogoo"

Thank you, everyone, for either helping me solve my problem, or for pointing me toward some kind of language reference out there ... Or debugging tools ... Or something.

At present, the above script simply terminates, and doesn’t give any error message. I would love to know how to get an error message out of there. Or insert break points. Or to simply know how to find the “move” language reference, so I can look up the command syntax. Or anything because I am stuck.

Thanks again.
