Sorry to revive an old thread. I've been out on vacation.
To clarify, my application is *not* sandboxed. The application who's prefs I'm
interested in (Mail) is. The question is: Should that matter? Documentation
says "no". Trial and error says "yes". Since no one seems to know, I guess I'll

application's scripting API (as declared in its dictionary) is supported,

That would seem to fit with the whole idea of a sandbox, wouldn't it?
It would probably work if you give yourself a temporary entitlement to Mail's
pref file. I would try that

Hello. I’m trying to read Mail’s preferences to find a suitable SMTP server so

stopped working and I can’t find a [documented] reason.
I’ve tried
NSUserDefaults *mailPrefs = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] init];
NSArray
13 matches
