I have the same kind of script for Entourage, which works generally like

This works in principle:

tell application "Mail"
	set the target to item 1 of (choose from list (get name of mailboxes))
	set the movedMessage to the selection
	move the movedMessage to mailbox target
end tell

However, if there are nested folders (which the OP implied there are), it does not show the hierarchy. Nor does it differentiate among folders of the same name.

Here is an interesting anomaly; a top-level folder's parent is account '"On My Mac" of application "Mail"', but the parent of that top level changes to 'application "Mail" if you ask for the parent of a sub folder: e.g., a subfolder of my Applescript folder returns 'mailbox "Applescript" of application "Mail"'. If the folder is more than one deep, the format is even stranger, mixing two forms. 'mailbox "Read mail/shipping" of application "Mail"'.
