What’s interesting is when I try getting Outgoing Message 1, I get “Mail got an error: Can’t get content of outgoing message id 423222320.” which to me means it DOES know what message I’m talking about (it spits back a message ID) but for some reason can get any elements or properties of it unless is created within the script.

It appears to be a bug. As you said, it can't get any properties of the message; it can't even return its own ID.

tell application "Mail"

id of outgoing message

end tell

--> "Mail got an error: Can’t get id of outgoing message 1."

I tried this:

tell application "Mail"

outgoing message 1

end tell

--> outgoing message id 279235136

Then I tried this:

tell application "Mail"

id of outgoing message id 279235136

end tell

--> "Mail got an error: Can’t get id of outgoing message id 279235136."

If you don't hit any bumps in the road, you're not moving.
