It indeed returns "test/test 2” as the mailbox path - and that is the exact path that fails in my script.:
<snip>
set read status of (every message of mailbox "test/test 2") to true
--> nothing happens. no error, no change of status. just nothing.
<snip>
As others have confirmed, my syntax should have worked so I should probably look elsewhere (a corrupt database or the like)
Thank you for your kind help
