AppleScript - How to Access Mail Directory?

I am trying to access folder in my mail using apple script. but did not succeed.

My folder Name is : BLABLABLA , it resides under Apple Mail .

I think that it should be : 

set myDir to mailbox "BLABLABLA"

this does not work, any suggestions ?

Solution

  • This will retrieve the account mailbox

    tell application "Mail"
    set AccountNames to name of accounts
    choose from list AccountNames with prompt "Select the email account" ¬
    without multiple selections allowed
    set AccountName to result as string
    set MailboxesListV to mailboxes of account AccountName
end tell

    Which is what I think you want. (Notice that the result is a list.)

    I hope it helps.
