No! You are on the wrong track!

Views are different from folders, but at the level of the API you are using, there is no difference between a view and a folder. GetView
*IS* the correct way to get a folder.

You don't want to create a view. Users can't put messages into a view the way they can with a folder. If users have folders, that's what you want them to keep using, and that's what you want your code to work with.

You are simply using the wrong name for the folder in your code. Just use the name exactly as you see it. No dollar sign. No parens. Just the name.

The code worked for the inbox because the dollar sign and parens are part of the name to mark it as an internal reserved folder name. They won't be there for other folders. Not unless someone put them there deliberately, in which case you would probably know about it.
