Or this:
set theMessage's mailbox to (get the trash mailbox)
Frequently application properties need 'get' (or a previous setting to a
variable in a separate line) to resolve. The cuckoo Cocoa apps have their
own peculiarity in that you frequently don't get an error when you try to do
something that doesn't work - the script just sails on until the next
instance in which you try to call a variable you just thought you set. Worth
a try here, anyway.
