Evidently, some mailboxes belong to an account, e.g.:

 mailbox "INBOX" of account "Dominant" of application "Mail"
 mailbox "Drafts" of account "Dominant" of application "Mail"
 mailbox "Sent Messages" of account "Dominant" of application "Mail"
 mailbox "Deleted Messages" of account "Dominant" of application "Mail"
 mailbox "INBOX" of account "Enkidu" of application "Mail"
 mailbox "Drafts" of account "Enkidu" of application "Mail"
 mailbox "Deleted Messages" of account "Enkidu" of application "Mail"

These are not included in "mailboxes".  I.e., "set MainBoxes to (mailboxes as list)" does not retrieve any of these.  That's why the code above has to fetch these separately.

Some mailboxes are missing (e.g., "Sent Messages" of account "Enkidu"), I hope because they are empty.

Here is the start of my handler ...

on scanMailboxes()
tell application "Mail"
set folderList to {}
set frontViewer to (some message viewer whose index is 1)
set allMailboxes to mailboxes as list -- does not need open message viewer
repeat with mbox in allMailboxes
set selected mailboxes of frontViewer to {mbox} -- this may need an open message viewer

The important line is the last one. This allows you to see the mailbox get selected as handler loops thru the mailbox list. Yes, some mailboxes do belong to accounts, but I don't think you need that. When I run my script containing the scanMailboxes handler, I can see it stepping thru EVERY mailbox. You might want to try it first with a script that does nothing but select each mailbox.
