'accountNode' is 'list' and 'list' object has no attribute 
'findChildren'. Debug as this:

accountNode = 
evo.findChildren(dogtail.predicate.GenericPredicate(accountName, 
roleName="table cell"), recursive=True)
for x in accountNode:
#myAccountInbox = 
x.findChildren(dogtail.predicate.GenericPredicate("Inbox", 
roleName="table cell"), recursive=True)
myAccountInbox = 
x.findChildren(dogtail.predicate.GenericPredicate(roleName="table 
cell"), recursive=True)

Value of 'myAccountInbox' is 'None'. View the 'Mail Folder Tree' with 
sniff, 'accountNode' and 'myAccountInbox' has the same depth.

Another issue: name of 'Inbox' will change with number of unread mail, 
e.g. 'Inbox (6)' or 'Inbox (18)'.
