I tried your script and variations of it; it appears that Entourage 2004's AppleScript does not properly execute whose clauses for windows. Or at least for the class of windows. With a message window open, "every window whose class is message window" always returns "{}", which is incorrect. This is a bug, I believe.

This workaround should do the trick, abeit a bit more slowly:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set c to class of every window
    set w to every window
    repeat with i from 1 to (count w)
        if item i of c is in {message window, draft window} then close (item i of w)
    end repeat
end tell
