Re: Different Mail inbox message count between AS & GUI

A possible clue: I've identified one message in one of my accounts that seems to have three different message IDs. If I select two "normal" messages and run 'tell application "Mail" to the selection', the result is a list of two message IDs. However, if I add the (one!) "special" message to the selection, the result is a list of five message IDs. And selecting only the special message returns three IDs.

I've found a few more messages with multiple IDs but have not yet been able to identify anything they have in common.

I have had the same problem with sent mailbox as well.

Hmm.

Okay I just sent a message to my Gmail account, so I'd have something in its Inbox.

It does NOT show up when the scripts are run.  In fact the message in the Gmail Inbox says it's actually in Archive - gmail (All Mail), although this is not actually correct.

Selecting the message and running:

tell application "Mail"
item 1 of (get selection)
result's mailbox
end tell

--> mailbox "[Gmail]/All Mail" of account "gmail" of application "Mail"

I can do something like this:

tell application "Mail"
  tell account "gmail" # The actual name of the account.
    tell mailbox "[Gmail]/All Mail"
      set msg to first message whose read status is false
      tell msg
        subject
      end tell
    end tell
  end tell
end tell

But it's really problematic, because there's quite a bit of mail in there - and quite a lot of that is marked unread.

At the moment I'm not seeing a way to simply access the Gmail Inbox.  If someone has found a work-around please chime in.

Just to be thorough I also fired off a message to my iCloud account.  It was seen by the scripts without issue.  (My other accounts are POP.)

There's really no such thing as translating. It's all a scam. We basically just make stuff up and try to make it sound plausible.
