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.

This morning, I took the time to investigate this further. You are correct, there are mailboxes that are not included in "set MainBoxes to (mailboxes as list)". Try this ...

tell application "Mail"
activate
set acntList to (every account) as list
(name of every mailbox of (item 2 of acntList)) as list
log the result
end tell

You will see the mailboxes associated with the account. The confusing thing is that 'mailboxes as list' does seem to contain some mailboxes that do belong to an account.
