Re: Mysterious OSX Mail scripting problem [solved!]

The problem with my mailbox was that while setting up the mailbox I had created
some other accounts for the same email account, which I had deactivated, but
never deleted.

So I had three accounts with the same name “IFAST” (System Preferences >
Internet Accounts).

For some reason OSX Mail reads in all the accounts, even if disabled. But after
deleting the two deactivated accounts and restarting Mail (it thought that all
three were still present without that) then the problem went away.

Obviously AppleScript was grabbing the first account with the name that I gave,
and probably not following the data properly (the message was obviously linked
to an active account, but AppleScript ended up talking to an inactive account).

Thanks for everyone’s help, this group is amazing!!
