That's already possible in the "Move to Folder" dialog.

For a folder named "MailMateList," I only need to type `mml`, and it 
gets selected.

You only need to type any key present in the folder's path:

- MyFolder / MailMateList

Similarly, `oemm` is also possible:

- MyF**o**ld**e**r / **M**ail**M**ateList
