| G’day scripters.
New problems. In trying to import old message, from mailboxes on an external disk, I tried the script below, which errors with…
Can’t make «class cfol» "Year 2017.mbox" of «class cfol» "0D4C39D0-EEEB-40C9-AC05-657E6894D805" of «class cfol» "V4" of «class cfol» "Mail" of «class cfol» "Library" of «class cfol» "OzSanta" of «class cfol» "Users" of «class cdis» "Daily Backup" of application "Finder" into the expected type.
I then tried the GUI approach from above Menu, but the ‘Import’ sheet uses a pop up button to select the desired mailbox, that I cannot set the value of.
Any takers on how to import mailboxes as ‘Import’ mailboxes, that I can then check the included emails against existing ones (this App is designed for recovery from any crash).
I need to make everything automatic. Everything else my main app saves I can retrieve and update, but this one with Mail is full of dead ends.
Regards
Santa
