exists mailbox

  • Subject: exists mailbox

I wanted to do this in Mail ...

if exists (mailbox "xxx" of frontViewer) then
set name of mailbox "xxx" to "zzzz"
end if

Simple. But all I get is an error because Mail doesn't understand 'exists' despite 'exists' appearing in the dictionary.

So, I had to use ...

try
set selected mailboxes of frontViewer to {mailbox "xxx"}
set name of mailbox "xxx" to "zzzz"
end try

It works, but does anyone know why 'exists' does not work?
