Ray now reports that this was in error - the script does indeed fail on his
system as well.  So it’s unlikely that a new account would solve it.


Any other ideas as to why this line fails and terminates the script with no
error message?

using terms from application "Mail"
        on perform mail action with messages (Msgs)
                set N to count of Msgs
                say "Messages: " & N
                repeat with i from 1 to N
                        say ("Start " & i)
                        try
                                set M to item i of Msgs
                                say ("Got message")
                                set Nm to (sender of M)    <——— FAIL !
                                say ("Got sender")
                                set S to (extract name from (sender of M) as
rich text)
                                say ("You have new mail from " & S)
                        on error
                                display dialog (errMsg as rich text)
                        end try
                        say ("end " & i)
                end repeat
        end perform mail action with messages
