AppleScript Programming/Sample Programs/Archive selected mail
This script tell is supposed to tell Mail.app to move the selected mails to a certain directory/mailbox. Is supposed to work with gmail, but is not general. It doesn't work unless everything is configured for this script.
(* This script is commented out because it needs work.
tell application "Mail"
set selectedMails to the selection
if the length of selectedMails is greater than 0 then
repeat with theMessage in selectedMails
if the name of the mailbox of theMessage is "INBOX" then
-- Set "gmail" to whatever your account is called in Mail.app's preferences
if the account of the mailbox of theMessage is account "gmail" then
-- Note: instead of "All Mail" below, I had to use "[Gmail]/All Mail" -Simon, using Mail 3.5 (930.3) & Gmail w/ IMAP
move theMessage to mailbox "All Mail" in account "gmail"
-- Add custom accounts with custom names and custom archive mailboxes here
-- else if the account of the mailbox of theMessage is account "uni" then
