You don't need the word "index" before "viewerIndex". Try the following instead:

tell application "Mail"
set viewerIndex to (count message viewers)
set selected mailboxes of (message viewer viewerIndex) to {mailbox "_Action ! ! ! ! ! !"}
end tell


It worked for me on 10.5.1 Leopard.

To which I replied ...
I just tried that about two minutes ago. No, it did not work. But, I'm using 10.4.11. It's nice that it works in 10.5.1, but I need to solve this problem for Tiger.

This morning, I continued trying variations on this theme. I finally tried this ...


tell application "Mail"
set frontViewer to (some message viewer whose index is 1)
set selected mailboxes of frontViewer to {mailbox "_Action ! ! ! ! ! !"}


which does work correctly in Tiger. Using "whose" seems to be the key to this work-around. None of the other variations that have been recommended to me worked. This must be a bug in Tiger's Mail that has been fixed in Leopard's Mail.
