The message is reporting that the mailbox doesn't exist — ie. that
there's no mailbox called "Inbox" in another, top-level mailbox called
"Office".
Once that's sorted out, this sort of thing seems to work:
tell application "Mail"
activate
open (first message of mailbox "Office/Inbox" where all headers contains "Message_id: <CD482A1C.E5BB%email@hidden>")
end tell
This will also error if the message doesn't exist, but will report that
it can't get the message.
