your tip didn't work, but it lead me to it…:-)
I (eventually) noticed in the SD Explorer view that all mailboxes had the syntax of
mailbox "Activities/Design Action Agenda"
i.e. the container "Activities" with mailbox "Design Action Agenda"
so i changed my statement to
tell application "Mail" set mbxContainer to oldCatName & "/" & mailBoxName as string … delete mailbox mbxContainer end tell
and it works!
tks

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 -- Michelle
