Hi,

selection returns only the selected mails, not the folders
you can get the selected folder(s) with selected mailboxes of message viewer 1


tell application "Mail"
	--make new mailbox with properties {name:"test"}
	--tell mailboxes
	set theselected to selected mailboxes of message viewer 1
	set theName to name of item 1 of theselected
	return theName
	--end tell		
end tell
