There are many different ways to do this. I don't usually
recommend regex, but I thought I would present you with this:

import re
s ='(\\HasNoChildren \\Junk) "/" "[Gmail]/&V4NXPpCuTvY-"'

partpat = re.compile(r'(\(.+\)) "(.+)" "(.+)"')
partsmatch = partpat.search(s)
if partsmatch is None:
     print('No matches.')
else:
     print(partsmatch.groups())


# Results (a Tuple of strings):
('(\\HasNoChildren \\Junk)', '/', '[Gmail]/&V4NXPpCuTvY-')

The pattern says you're looking for: (this thing) "this" "this"
