Hey Bob,

Why don't you explain what you're actually trying to do.

I think the script sould be enough of an explanation. 😀

Here is my attempt which errors, "access not allowed”;

tell application "Mail"
delay 0.2
set x to (count of visible messages in “Inbox" of account 1)
say x
delay 0.2
set y to x is less than 18
delay 0.2
end tell
return y

Hello Robert

It seems that you missed that you were given pieces of explanation in a message signed :

You are asking for visible messages in a mailbox.

I repeat that your instruction doesn't compile under 10.10.4

It must be edited as :

set x to (count of visible messages in mailbox “Inbox" of account 1)

With this change, it compiles but it fails logically.

visible message is not a property of a mailbox but one of a message viewer !

Mail dictionary is perfectly clear :

message viewer n : Represents the object responsible for managing a viewer window

elements

contains messages; contained by application.
