I notice that, in the first and correct case, what is handled from the mailbox is a "message" ( message id 331045 ), while in the second case it is an "item" of the list "every message of mailbox xxx" - without any clue of the error.

My advice is to always force dereferencing of the "item" in the first place. If you don't do it yourself, AppleScript will do it each time the variable is invoked in the loop, so if you use the loop variable more than once in the loop you're improving speed.

repeat with myLoopVariable in someList set myLoopVariable to contents of myLoopVariable -- dereference once for all and be safe
