Not sure what you are trying to do, but since you quote (') the :eval
form, what's actually added to the `global-mode-string' list is
literally
(:eval (mail-bug-mode-line-all (format "%s" i)))
with i not substituted with 1, 2, or 3. And since `add-to-list' only
adds if that elements is not included already, you end up with exactly
one occurence.
I guess, you want this:
(loop for i from 1 to 3 do
(add-to-list 'global-mode-string
`(:eval (mail-bug-mode-line-all (format "%s" ,i)))))
Bye,
Tassilo
