Sorry, I don't understand. I'm not inside a "tell message viewer"
block. I'm inside a "tell application 'Mail'" block. Here's a test
script, showing output. How should I be doing this? Note that this
works IF the new mailbox is a "standard" mailbox (in, out, drafts,
sent, or trash).

tell application "Mail" to get selected mailboxes of message viewer 1
-- {mailbox "Loft" of account "email@hidden" of application
"Mail"}

tell application "Mail"
set theBox to mailbox "Stuff" of account "email@hidden"
set selBoxes to {theBox}
set selected mailboxes of message viewer 1 to selBoxes
get selected mailboxes of message viewer 1
end tell
-- {mailbox "Loft" of account "email@hidden" of application
"Mail"}
