msg is an instance of MaildirMessage (subclass of Message) - it has no  
specific iterator, so "for m in msg" tries to use the sequence protocol,  
starting at 0; that is, tries to get msg[0]. Message objects support the  
mapping protocol, and msg[0] tries to find a *header* 0, converting the  
name 0 to lowercase, and fails miserably.
Try with:

for msg in mbox:
   print msg

or read the MaildirMessage (and Message) docs to see the ways you can  
handle it.
