Hello

I wished to build a list of every mailboxes available in my Mail datas

I wrote this script :

[...]

Is there a way to achieve my goal without the dirty trick deciphering an error message ?

Hello Yvan,

For sure not as quick nor as efficient as the "error message trick", but probably more reliable, my MboxFullName() handler still "works" here on Mountain Lion.

on MboxFullName(Mbox)
tell application "Mail"
if name of container of Mbox is missing value then return name of Mbox
return my MboxFullName(container of Mbox) & "/" & name of Mbox
end tell
end MboxFullName

tell application "Mail"
set liste to {}
repeat with Mbox in mailboxes
copy my MboxFullName(Mbox) to the end of liste
end repeat
end tell

HTH,
Axel

Hello Axel

I was editing the beginning of my original script this way :

tell application "Mail"

set name1 to name of first mailbox

try

first mailbox as rich text

on error errMsg

set delim1 to item 1 of my decoupe(errMsg, name1)

end try

set asListe to {}

repeat with i from 1 to count every mailbox

set aBox to mailbox i

try

aBox as rich text

on error errMsg

my decoupe(errMsg, {delim1, quote & " of application " & quote & "Mail" & quote})

set end of asListe to item 2 of result

end try

end repeat

end tell

my recolle(asListe, return)

my writeto((path to desktop as text) & "mailboxes.txt", result, text, false)

when I received your script.

It's exactly what I was dreaming of but was enable to think to.

It uses recursion which has bad reputation.

It's why I call it Georges's coding, but with path to mailboxes there is no problem.

I must add that it's fast too.

Au village, sans prétention,

J'ai mauvaise réputation.

Qu'je m'démène ou qu'je reste coi

Je pass' pour un je-ne-sais-quoi!

Je ne fait pourtant de tort à personne

En suivant mon chemin de petit bonhomme.

Mais les brav's gens n'aiment pas que

L'on suive une autre route qu'eux,

Non les brav's gens n'aiment pas que

L'on suive une autre route qu'eux,

Tout le monde médit de moi,

Sauf les muets, ça va de soi.
