You need a recursive handler, something like:
Repeat with aFolder in every folder
Set theResult to My recursiveRoutine(afolder)
End repeat
Repeat with aFolder in every folder of IMAP account "xyz"
Set theResult to My recursiveRoutine(afolder)
End repeat
On recursiveRoutine(thisFolder)
Repeat with nextFolder in (every folder of thisfolder)
Set theResult to My recursiveroutine(nextfolder)
End repeat
-- do whatever you want to the messages of thisFolder
Return someResult
End recursiveroutine
