The example scripts are pretty thorough -- you're just trying to do
something that is not possible in the UI -- that is, create a message
out of thin air and put in into a mailbox.
Your best bet is to convert to mbox format and mimick the folder
organization style that Mail uses for storing local mailboxes in
~/Library/Mail.
Here's an old import script that pulls in mbox files. It used to work a
few years back. I haven't verified it now, but it should give you some
ideas on how to pull it off.
