You are probably running into the problem that Applescript properties are not saved when running a Mail Rule. We discussed this a while back in the thread: "Properties not saved when a script is executed by a Mail rule?". The solution is to store the property in a file and read/write it every time the script runs. Kind of kludgy but what about Applescript isn't?
