| Dear all
I have moved from Eudora to Mail…
I have a large set of folders (Mail mailboxes) termed in Mail "On my Mac"
I use them as primary "folders" to collect like sets of emails…
How can I select that list (115 Mailboxes) "
I use this code:
tell application "Mail" set mailDefaultList to {"In", "Out", "Sent", "Drafts", "Trash", "Junk"} try set folderList to {} -- can I restrict this to top level only? set folderCount to count of mailboxes --of mailbox "ON MY MAC" if mailDefaultList does not contain (name of mailbox thisFolder) then set end of folderList to (name of mailbox thisFolder) end if end repeat on error errMsg number errNum -- some error return {false, ""} end try end tell
debugging this, mailbox 1 is null, and mail box 114 is the name of the enclosing Mailbox that comprises the preceding list - the one I'm looking for.
In summary, this gives me every mailbox in the database (1300+). But I want only the top level mailbox names (113).
Can i use the term container to get the list?
Does anyone have a suggestion?
regards
John
