Jonathan, Thanks for this. As far as I understand, the "->" is really only needed if there are multiple sub-menu items with the same end name. If your "Family" mailbox is the only mailbox with that specific name, then you should be able to simply use the final menu item as in:
App: Mail, Menu item name: Family, Key Combination: cmd-option-shift-j or in the case where you have multiple mailboxes with the same name in different accounts: App: Mail, Menu Item name: Message->Move to->Family, Key Combination: cmd-option-shift-j I was able to make it work with either syntax above. Later...

I knew I could put the Family folder into favorites and then use the automatic keyboard shortcut to move mail messages to a favorite folder, but I wanted something a bit more mnemonic. For those interested, one is supposed to be able to use -> for accessing sub-menus in setting up keyboard shortcuts.
