Your solution is perfect if you know the name of the mbox (here "nubian/scripting") and write it explicitly in the script.

But I don't succeed in a script to know the fact that "scripting" is a sub folder of "nubian".
Is it possible?

What you should do is learn how to read and interpret .
Then you will see that Mail's dictionary shows that a mailbox has a 'container' property (i.e. parent mailbox):

tell application "Mail"
set mb to every mailbox whose name contains "scripting"
name of container of item 1 of mb & "/scripting"
end tell

--> "nubian/scripting"

So back up the chain of containers to get multiply-nested mailbox names.

How can I get this "property" and use it to construct dynamically the name of the mbox and reach
for example "Society/Computer/Apple" and then continue the script as under with "tell mailbox mbox"

There is a pseudo-code to illustrate my thinking.

set xx to name of mailbox -- "Society"

If society has a subfolder then
   get name of that subfoder -- "Computer"

   set xx to xx & "/" & result -- "Society/Computer"
…/…
   set mbox to xx -- "Society/Computer/Apple"
   tell mailbox mbox
…/…

Thanks for your help
