Apple

tell application "Mail"

set selected mailboxes of message viewer 1 to {mailbox "INBOX" of account "JK@org"}

end tell

Which works well.

Do you have any other scripts/suggestions that would be as educational as your example was?

In my continuing attempts to learn AppleScript, I am working on a simple script that will go to/select a particular mailbox in Mail.app. Thus far, I have been hitting my head against the wall. Here is where I am at (which returns a error - AppleEvent handler failed):

tell application "Mail"
set message viewer 1 to {mailbox "INBOX" of account "JK@org"}
end tell

I'm sure I am missing something simple, due to my lack of knowledge/experience. Is set what I want to use, or am I completely off base?

Run this and see what happens and why ...

tell application "Mail"
activate
set frontViewer to message viewer 1
set mbox to some mailbox
set selected mailboxes of frontViewer to {mbox}
end tell
