What an arcane, convoluted language Applescript is. I could never have figured out your solution by myself.

To be fair, it doesn't have to be convoluted -- or at least it doesn't here. This does the same thing:

tell application "Mail"
set selected mailboxes of message viewer 1 to (get every mailbox of application "Mail")
end tell

Maybe Chris was working around some other problem. Most of the problems with Mail are due to the implementation (and especially the variability thereof) and not the language itself.
