"On My Mac" does not map to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes

OK, while fighting my IMAP issues with SpamArrest, I'm trying to cleanup my mailboxes to make sure I have nothing funny happening with my Mail apps. One thing I noticed is that the list of folders listed under "On My Mac" in Mail is not exactly the same as what is listed in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes.
There are 4 more mboxes in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes than in the "On My Mac" section of Mail. They are:
Deleted Messages.mbox
Drafts.mbox
Notes.mbox
Outbox.mbox
Given their generic names, I am wondering if this is just normal and they only come into play when I'm offline.
As an aside, part of the reason I'm looking at this is that I keep getting IMAP mboxes created in there that shouldn't be. For example, I have both:
Drafts (CarnerosVentures (SpamArrest)).mbox
INBOX.Drafts (Carneros Ventures (SpamArrest)).mbox
Since these are local files, I assume it's safe to delete all of the mboxes with the name "SpamArrest"in them in that folder. e.g.
Deleted Messages (Carneros Ventures (SpamArrest)).mbox
Drafts (CarnerosVentures (SpamArrest)).mbox
INBOX.Drafts (Carneros Ventures (SpamArrest)).mbox
Sent Messages (Carneros Ventures (SpamArrest)).mbox
They'll just be recreated if/when they are needed. Is that correct?
Thanks,
Chip

Drafts, ToDos (Notes), and Outbox are found normally in the Mailboxes folder but do not usually appear in the On My Mac section. As for Deleted Messages that may be a remnant from before you used an IMAP account or if you at one time configured Mailbox Behaviors in Mail preferences to keep deleted messages locally instead of on the IMAP server.

  • MAIL on my MAC does not load any new mail or delete any mail in any of my other folders

    I've been having this problem for a couple of days now. Its as if MAIL just doesn't respond to anything. I can't get any New MAIL to load. And if i try to delete anything from SPAM, JUNK... and so on. They won't delete, they just show up again after deleting.
    I restarted the computer, and checked all my settings as well. I also uodated the computer.

  • Mac does not switch off. Any idea how to fix this?

    I already  repaired the rights on the disk....
    Mac does not drive down, obviously after certain programs have been started. One of those programs is itunes. I have to use the power switch button for switching it off. Mac can be driven down normally immediately after start-up.....Any idea what to do?

    Yes, this was exactly the sequence and again it worked...

  • Itunes does not recognise my library

    I have my itunes library on a NAS. This morning I have tried to open Itunes and it does not recognise the library - it is asking me either to create a new library or to choose another library. When I try to link it to my existing library, I cannot select the library as it is greyed out.
    This very same thing happened a few weeks ago and at that point i decided to rebuild the library. I wondered if anyone knows if they have had a similar experience, or why it is happening?
    thanks

    I also am having this problem. It seems Apple has decided what's best for us, and your system will automatically switch the library location back to your hard drive on the MAC if it is unable to find the NAS library or if the NAS is turned off. This causes EXTREME frustration, because when you have TONS of music on your NAS, you then have to re-direct the library location back to the NAS manually, and it takes a LONG time for the MAC to reorganize the library. Plus if you inadvertantly loaded new music into your library after the location was moved back to your hard drive, you'll now have music in two different locations and consolitdating them is another huge time suck.

    If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there. 
    searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
    The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
    As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
    Regards.

  • Mac does not list all folders in a SMB share

    Hi guys, this is a bit of a weird one and I've tried everything I can think of.
    In our house we have a media centre running Windows 7. It has several shares, one of which we'll call folder "X". Folder X opens correctly on the media centre, and any other Windows machine perfectly. Almost every other machine in the house is running OS X 10.6, and one of my housemates today noted that some of the folders inside of folder X were not listed on a Mac. So far we've tested it on 2 Macs and 2 Windows machines, and everytime the Windows machine lists all folders inside of X, where the Mac does not. The weird thing is, it's cutting them out alphabetically, so it's basically from D through to I that are missing, all in all there are 30 (out of 160) folders missing inside of Folder X...here's what I've tried.
    On the Windows 7 machine:
    -Restarted server service
    -Removed Share X and re-added
    -Checked share permissions on folder X
    -Checked permissions on folder X, propagated to all child folders just in case.
    -Restarted machine after every change.
    On the Macs we haven't really tried much as there's not much we can think to change. We've tried Finder, Path Finder (which I'm guessing will be exactly the same), restarting, removing from workgroup and re-adding...I can't think what would cause such a weird problem.
    To make things harder we don't know exactly when it started happening but the OSX machines definitely used to list the folders and it happens on more than one mac. which I guess makes me think it's something on the Windows client. The 30 folders are not using any nonstandard characters, some are only a few letters long.
    Ideas on a postcard!?

    Reporting the same problem.
    1. Have Windows 7 MediaCenter with file sharing set up properly (LM+NTLM Authentication allowed and 128-bit encryption disabled in security policies).
    2. Test folder ("C:\income") and all the subfolders' owner is 'Guest', full access is granted for everyone.
    3. Connecting to MediaCenter from MacBook with Finder by pressing Cmd+K and typing smb://ip-addr/income
    4. Finder connects successfully, but some sub-folders and files are not being listed.
    Workaround:
    5. You can open a not-listed folder directly by pressing Cmd+K and typing smb://ip-addr/income/some-invisible-folder
    6. Voila! You're inside invisible folder.
    In the meantime, i can see all the sub-folders on a Windows XP client machine, so i can make a conclusion that all of these 'invisible' sub-folders are actually accessible by Finder, but in some reason are just not being listed on Mac.
