How do I access messages inside nested folders in Apple Mail?

I have a folder named “test 2” inside a folder named “test”.
What am I doing wrong here:

tell application "Mail"
set read status of (every message of mailbox "test") to true
--> correct. every message status is changed in this folder
set read status of (every message of mailbox "test/test 2") to true
--> nothing happens. no error, no change of status. just nothing.
set read status of (every message of mailbox "test/nonexistingfolder") to true
--> correctly errors as there is no such folder
end tell

OS 10.9.3, Apple Mail 7.3

My guess is that you have only one mailbox named « test 2 ».
Try to use : set read status of (every message of mailbox "test 2") to true

This is the same error as I get with the nonexisting folder

Mailboxes are on the local mac, no imap nor gmail. Both “test” and “test 2” mailboxes contain both messages and other mailboxes.
