I have my mail on a local imap server, with incoming mail filtered
into several mailboxes via procmail. So therefore, my default view
is to have several (currently 11) mailboxes simultaneously selected,
so I see the union of all messages. First off, this makes mail
really slow, but that's another topic. Second, I need a way to
quickly select my set of mailboxes in a viewer window (if I select
the Sent box for an instant, I have to get back to my set).
Command-clicking my 11 boxes each time is a waste of time, but I
don't see anything in Mail's dictionary that refers to the selected
mailboxes -- only the selected messages.
I've asked twice about "focused messages" and got no reply from
cricket. So here's a guaranteed way to make Mail crash by trying to
do what you're asking.
tell application "Mail"
set ls to messages of mailbox "In" of account "Manningham"
set ls to ls & messages of mailbox "In" of account "demon"
make message viewer
set focused messages of message viewer 1 to ls
end tell
Every time I try to script anything useful in Mail I am confirmed in
my opinion that the whole thing is an abomination. Why we're having
to wait so long for an upgrade I can't imagine.

program so far and seems to be the work of one man. How far it will
develop I don't know, but it's worth watching. Scriptability at the
moment is minimal.
