Thanks for the reminder about POP accounts. Your hunch is correct that my
script was originally written for use only with an IMAP account.

By using the "default mail account" term rather than a specific account
identifier, am I not allowing the script to work even if I change to a
different default (IMAP) account?

I do not understand this comment. In the above code, the DateMatch handler
operates on the result of the preceding get command, which it does just
fine. Incorporating your comment about POP accounts in the following code
also works:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set MailAccount to default mail account
if class of MailAccount is not POP account then
get folders of MailAccount
else
get folders
end if
end tell
DateMatch for result
