Welcome to the wonderfully broken world of email and IMAP.

As he has written that it is a python 3 script, I would try to run it
with python3. Otherwise you seem to have hit a bug in the pyhthon
"mailbox" module, it seems.

Seems, like you have a message or a file without a Message-Id
header. This is illegal but anything can happen with emails. Why don't
you protect the script with:

if not message.has_key('Message-Id'):
   continue

before the line:

 mid = message['Message-Id']

Otherwise, I suggest contacting the blog author who wrote the script
:-).
