note that if you have multiple accounts, you have to specify:

move msg to mailbox “mailboxname” of account “accountname”

I set up a similar script, except at the beginning of the script, you are prompted to enter the first letter of the mailbox you want to move the message to. just like my old mail client sylpheed =)

Steps that worked for me:

1 Create a folder “QS Scripts” in /Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts
2 Copy Applescript from example.
3 Change “@Action” to reflect target folder.
4 Save with .scpt extension in “QS Scripts” folder, above
5 In QS Catalog section, verify that Scripts (All Users) is checked. Hit rescan.
6 In QS Triggers section, create movetofiled script (Run). In drawer, set hotkey to trigger action and specify scope.

No, my mailboxes aren’t nested. Do the mailboxes you’re trying to move mail to already exist? Are you certain you’ve not made a typo in the name of the mailbox?

Being fairly new to AppleScript myself, I can’t really troubleshoot these things remotely I’m afraid.

Keep me up to date on your progress though, if there’s any help I can offer I’ll gladly give it.

Hi,
I’m trying to get this to work in my setup and I’m having trouble with the move command. the scripts run and give me a “can’t get mailbox “Archive”" error.
Are your mailboxes nested inside the inbox?
