Monitoring an email folder for OF tasks
 

I've been scouring the forums and various search engines for a solution to this "problem," but I have come up empty.

First, here is what I understand:[LIST=1][*]Apple Mail rules run only on incoming mail messages (unless run manually)[*]You can email tasks to yourself with a +omnifocus email address (or your preferred set up) with an OF rule in place[*]You can send emalis to the OF inbox at will with the menu item (or keyboard shortcut) if you like[*]And, yes, for the emailing of tasks and such, I know my mac has to be on with Mail running for the rules to work[/LIST]
While that is all well and good if I'm at my Mac, those options do not work for me at all times. At work, I am on a PC, and a manage my personal/freelance items via my iPhone. I organize my email into three folders: 1. Actions (for to dos), 2. Pending (for items I've delegated or am waiting on a response), and 3. Archive (obviously archive). What I would like to happen is to have any email that I place in the "1. Actions" folder on my iPhone or in Gmail or whatever show up in my OmniFocus inbox. I understand that I could just forward the email to the +omnifocus email address that I have set up, but that's far too many clicks (or taps) than necessary.

What I would like to do:[LIST][*]If I receive an email that requires action, I would like to move it to my "1.Actions" folder[*]I would like to set up an alarm on my iCal at home that will trigger an AppleScript, Automator workflow, etc. to run at various times throughout the day.[*]The Applescript/Workflow/etc. would then check the "1. Actions" email folder for messages and then send them to the OmniFocus inbox (just as if I was sitting there hitting the "Send to OmniFocus inbox button myself on my mac)[/LIST]
To be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing with Applescript, and I've barely scratched the surface with Automator. I've copied and pasted and tried to reconfigure a bunch of the scripts out there to no avail. What I have tried:[LIST][*]Started a new Automator workflow[*]"Got" selected mailboxes (e.g., 1.Actions)[*]"Got" selected messages from mailbox[*]Run Applescript (default OF MailAction.scpt) <-- This is where I'm stuck[/LIST]
This all goes well until it hits the Applescript portion. I realized after running it a couple times this happened because I overwrote what initially showed up in the "Run Applescript" dialogue. However, due to the syntax, I can't just paste the OF default Applescript within the code that Automator provides/suggests with the (*Paste your code here*). A syntax error arises when you do this. As I mentioned, I do not know Applescript syntax.

I would imagine that I have no idea what I'm doing. Can anyone point me in the right direction -- an AppleScript tutorial for use with Mail, an Applescript syntax tutorial, let me know if I'm going in the wrong direction, etc.

Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thank you.
