The "-FolderScope" attributes only supported with folder name:

It doesn't supported with folder id.

If you want to get folder id for that mailbox, you need to use the script in the article that michev provided: Script.

Care to explain what are you trying to achieve here? If you need the folder id for features like targeted collection, use the script here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/use-content-search-for-targeted-collections?view=o365-worldwide
An alternative/simpler version of the script is available here: https://www.enowsoftware.com/solutions-engine/performing-ediscovery-against-a-specific-folder
