Hey Brian,

On my El Capitan 10.11.1 system these all work, except the Tier06 one.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "Mail"
make new mailbox with properties {name:"Year 2016/A/"} # WORKS
make new mailbox with properties {name:"Year 2016/A/01/"} # WORKS
make new mailbox with properties {name:"Year 2016/A/02/"} # WORKS
make new mailbox with properties {name:"Year 2016/A/02/Tier04"} # WORKS
make new mailbox with properties {name:"Year 2016/B/Tier03/Tier04/Tier05"} # WORKS
try
make new mailbox with properties {name:"Year 2016/B/Tier03/Tier04/Tier05/Tier06"} # FAILS
end try
make new mailbox with properties {name:"Year 2016/A/03/"} # WORKS
end tell

Hello Chris

I added a slash at the end of the instruction :

make new mailbox with properties {name: "Year 2016/B/Tier03/Tier04/Tier05"}

so it became:

make new mailbox with properties {name: "Year 2016/B/Tier03/Tier04/Tier05/"}

This time, I got the box Tier06.

I added the instruction :

make new mailbox with properties {name: »Year 2016/B/Tier03/Tier04/Tier05/Tier06/Tier07/"}

It failed so I edited the instruction creating the box Tier06 so that it end with a slash.

This code created the box Tier07.

My understanding is that if we want to be able to insert sub-boxes we must always put a slash at the end of instructions creating them.

Applying this « rule » the instruction :

make new mailbox with properties {name: »Year 2016/B/Tier03/Tier04/Tier05/Tier06/Tier07/Tier08/Tier09/Tier10/Tier11/"}

created its entire hierarchy.

So, the engineers may continue to write that we don’t have to use the slash, I will ALWAYS insert an ending one.
