If your going to use the UnixMailbox in two different loops, you'll
need to reinitalize it.  Just call:

fp = open("/home/chuck/pythonScript/testbox")
mbox = mailbox.UnixMailbox(fp, email.message_from_file)

again before you use 'mbox' again.  Otherwise the file pointer is
still pointing at the end of the file which is why you get nothing the
second time.  Or alternately, just to be more confusing :), use:

for mail in mailbox.UnixMailbox(open("/home/chuck/pythonScript/testbox"), \
                                email.message_from_file):
        print mail['Subject']
        print mail.get_content_type()#text/plain
        print mail.get_payload()

Which does it all in one stroke.

Oh, minor nitpick.  open(filename) is depredicated I believe.  The new
prefered (for now :P) usage is file(filename).  Which makes sense
since it returns a file object not an 'open' object
