I took a look at my Mail scripting. Perhaps this will help.

Here is how I get the frontmost message viewer:

set frontViewer to (some message viewer whose index is 1)

And here are some examples of how I use frontViewer :

set mailBoxList to (selected mailboxes of frontViewer) as list

tell application "Mail" to set selected messages of frontViewer to msgList

set selected mailboxes of frontViewer to {mailbox actionBox}

set selected mailboxes of frontViewer to {boxRef of mboxRec}

tell application "Mail" to set visible messages of frontViewer to (messages of (boxRef of mboxRec))

set selected mailboxes of frontViewer to {}

set selected mailboxes of frontViewer to {boxRef of mboxRec}

set selected mailboxes of frontViewer to {trash mailbox}

set visible messages of frontViewer to oldMessageList

I know these are isolated lines of code, but perhaps they will suggest something which will help.
