No faster way, this is how to do it. New AppleScripters may find it weird, in AppleScript it's common practice to use a try structure to test some property.

My script to move email seems to do it ever so slowly

the idea is to test whether the mailbox exists first and create it if it doesn't.

			try
				set archiveMailbox to (mailbox folderName)
			on error
				log "Creating mailbox " & folderName
				make new mailbox with properties {name:folderName}
			end try
