Mail Import Mailboxes

I have over 300 "import" mailboxes listed under "On My Mac". I don't understand why so many would be listed.


Is there a way of removing them? I tried to delete a few and was not successful.

Deleting them from:

  1. library/mail/V9 directory
  2. and then within Mail under "On My Mac" worked.

OK, While I have a different experience with a different mail box I did not create I would suppose that each import mail box has something in it and the contents can be deleted. My recommendation is to delete or move contents and when empty, control-click the empty import mail box and select delete (or use the mailbox menu). Try that without deleting, but I think they need to be empty. That is my limit of ideas to use and hope it works for you.
