"With FoxTrot I find files I do not find with Spotlight.
With FoxTrot I do not get swamped with 2000 found files in one bunch,
under "Documents" and now I have to scroll through a long list - with
FoxTrot I can quickly and easy narrow my search.
With FoxTrot with one click I can see a preview with the search term
highlighted.
One of the very important reasons I like FoxTrot is that it's results
seem so much more appropriate.
And searches in FoxTrot returns are almost instantly - way way faster
than in Spotlight"

got me an error (container underlined) in english should be "waiting for
an end of line etc got an ID" (identificativo in italian)
just to have more chances next time the right path should be: message
container "italy" of message container "europe" of message container "world"??

Well, you can't specify a "folder path" as a single string, you should
refer to the folder from its parent folder. For example:
property subj : "just try"
property msgTxt : "ta da da"
property rTo : "name <it...@me.com>"
property acct : "kk"
property parentFolder : "parent folder name"
property childFolder : "child folder name"
tell application "PowerMail"
set the newM to make new message with properties
{subject:subj, content:msgTxt, recipient:rTo, account:acct}
at message container childFolder of message container parentFolder
open the newM
end tell
If you need to describe the folder path as a string, and the depth of
the hierarchy is variable, you have to parse the string yourself:
property subj : "just try"
property msgTxt : "ta da da"
property rTo : "name <it...@me.com>"
property acct : "kk"
property folderPath : "parent folder name\\child folder name"
tell application "PowerMail"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"\\"}
set folderNames to text items of folderPath
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
set target to application "PowerMail"
repeat with folderName in folderNames
set target to message container folderName of target
end repeat
set the newM to make new message with properties
{subject:subj, content:msgTxt, recipient:rTo, account:acct}
at target
open the newM
end tell
PS: the final version of 6.0.5 is available

"As someone who's in the business of receiving and (ideally) responding
to 50 - 100 emails a day, through three different accounts, using
three different ports. As, someone who's in a constant state of
disorganzation, always losing, confusing, and misusing. As someone who
had to jump between OS9 and OSX machines for much longer than it was
in vogue, and needed his email to jump with him. As a Mac user who's
email is his bread and butter, and sometimes needs it to work better
than he does. I find Powermail to be simply invaluable."
