From what I can tell, the problem is "accounts" is really just a
base class,
and not one you should be using directly. Instead of dealing with
"accounts"
try working with imap account or pop account for incoming, and smtp
server
for outgoing.
When we create accounts, it's "make new imap account..." and "make new
smtp
server...", so I imagine you might have to change it that way as well.
So this advice worked great for our IMAP accounts but for the life of
my I can get no results for setting properties of SMTP accounts.
This is what I've got:
tell application "Mail"
repeat with theSMTPServer in smtp servers
--return properties of theSMTPServer
tell theSMTPServer
set server name to "mail.domain.edu"
set port to 587
set uses ssl to true
set authentication to password
end tell
--return properties of theSMTPServer
end repeat
end tell
If I check the properties before and after setting them, the result
returned are accurate. However, in Mail.app, the old SMTP settings
remain, even if I quit and relaunch Mail.app. It seems to me like
there needs to be a trigger to write the changes out to the plist or
update the GUI or something.
Any thoughts?
