But what if I want to access the mailbox "Foo" which is in the IMAP folder "Bar" which is under another folder named "2010"?

2010.Bar.Foo on the server side

You might want to use a slash delimited path. It worked in 10.4, but I haven't tried it in 10.6.
For example: mailbox "2010/bar/Foo"

If you want to see how your mailboxes are organized, you can use something like this ...

tell application "Mail"
activate
set allMailboxes to mailboxes as list -- does not need open message viewer
-- set allMailboxes to mailboxes of account something as list -- using an account is optional
repeat with mbox in allMailboxes
set mailboxPath to (name of mbox) as text
set mboxContainer to (container of mbox)
repeat
try
set mailboxPath to ((name of mboxContainer) as text) & "/" & mailboxPath
set mboxContainer to container of mboxContainer
on error
exit repeat
end try
end repeat
display dialog mailboxPath -- White mailboxes do not appear, but they do appear as a container
end repeat
end tell
