i tried this

delete mailbox mailBoxName of mailbox oldCatName

does anyone have a suggestion?

I think you have to specify the entire hierarch of mailboxes up to and including the account. (If the hierarchy is in "On My Mac", you don't have to specify it as the account."

Here's a simplified example:

tell application "Mail"

activate

make new mailbox with properties {name:"delete me"} at account "email@hidden"

delete mailbox "delete me" of account "email@hidden"

end tell

The reason that so few people think outside the box is that all the pay and benefits are inside the box.
