We do things like you say on a regular basis: processing hundreds of mails and moving them appropriately depending on some condition, creating folders when necessary. Moving an email is just setting its "mailbox" property.

Assume you have email for various mailing lists over many years.

Is there a way in Applescript to traverse the messages, creating the necessary folders and moving the messages into their appropriate folder based on the year they were sent.

sounds like a doable tasks assuming Mail.app's applescript dictionary allows you to reliably moving batches of emails from one folder to another and lazily create new folders.

anybody done anything like this before?
