Mail's mailbox list

Subject: Mail's mailbox list

Mail's dictionary shows ...

message viewer n [inh. item] : Represents the object responsible for managing a viewer window

elements

contains messages.

properties

...

mailbox list visible boolean : Controls whether the list of mailboxes is visible or not

...

which indicates that mailbox list visible is not a read-only property.

However, this script fails to change the value of mailbox list visible.

tell application "Mail"
set frontViewer to (some message viewer whose index is 1)
mailbox list visible of frontViewer --> true or false

set mailbox list visible of frontViewer to true --> Mail got an error: AppleEvent handler failed.

end tell

I've tried variations on a theme of line 3, but it seems I cannot Show or Hide Mail's mailbox list via an AppleScript.

Does anyone know more about this?
