Select every Message in a Mailbox. Apple Mail 5.2, OSX 10.7 Lion

Hey there,

I’ve got an Apple-Script, that selects every Message in a selected Mailbox. In 10.6 it works fine with this:



tell application "Mail"
	tell message viewer 1
		set selected messages to every message
	end tell
end tell

But in 10.7 I get an Error.

Can somebody help me?

Thank you very much!

Cheers

Ok,

This doesn’t do what you want, but its close?

tell application “Mail”
set theMessages to every message in the mailbox “INBOX” of account “XXXX”

repeat with theMessage in theMessages

    .... do something with each of "theMessage"

end repeat

end tell

Thank you very much Wizard2004,

Hmm…thats pretty cool! But, is there a way, that It works without the definition of the names of the Mailbox? Maybe the Script should give out the name of the selected Mailbox, is that even possible?

Thank you very much!!

Cheers
Marth
