23    print "number_of_messages =", number_of_messages   #  For debugging
24    number_of_messages_all += int(number_of_messages[0])  # original line

and the reported error changes to:

number_of_messages =  ['Could not select box']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\MXEXTRA\scripts\imapt1.py", line 24, in ?
    number_of_messages_all += int(number_of_messages[0])
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): Could not select box

HTH :)
