OK, so we're moving messages from one mailbox into another, not into folders. (local disk ?)
I just tried this, seems to work ...


tell application "Mail"
	set msgList to selection
	move msgList to mailbox "Test"
end tell

But, the original poster asked ...
"Is there a way I could by simply selecting few messages trigger a script which will move them to a folder of my choice."


I don't think so. (Well, I guess one could do that with a stay-open script, but you wouldn't like it. No way to take back mistekes.) Best to use Drag & Drop.

The original poster said they want to move messages into other folders that the created in Mail--not in the Finder.

But you can't just "drag it to the folder", because Mail, at least on my PPC G4 with 10.4.10, won't allow drag & drop into the Finder. And Mail's File/Save As... only allows saving as a plain/ raw/rtf file. I think my Mail Saver shareware is ideal for this situation as it saves messages as .emlx files which means a message can still be opened with Mail and acts like a message. Find it here ...

Maybe I didn't say it correctly - I want to move mails from my default Inbox to other folders (I created in Mail) but as these are random mails which I decide after reading them, I need to have a customized script rather than a rule.

Why not just drag it to the folder? That's about as much effort as right clicking and then choosing an item from a menu.
