Mail's origin was long ago at NeXT, before the acquisition. And long
before iLife. (I don't know how it compares with the earliest .Mac).
It is quite possible that it knows about Apple events which are not
exposed in the scripting dictionary (some of the iLife integration
might suggest that).
Also, if one is writing general code, one needs to look at .Mac
accounts, IMAP accounts (.Mac seems to be a special case of those,
where Mail knows some of the settings), Exchange accountsm, and POP
accounts. At the moment, I'm primarily using .Mac and IMAP accounts
with Mail.

keep it that way)
