Hi,
Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts shows you a list of the configured
mail accounts. Delete some, and then the folder will be automatically
moved into the trash folder, as I said earlier. Even the backup of the
old settings (before migration to Maildir, corresponding to the
'local_mbox' folder) is configured there. If you do not need that
backup anymore, then delete the account and the rest will be done for
you. I'm not 100% sure when exactly it'll be auto-moved to the trash
folder, but it surely will, once a background "service" will notice no
corresponding account configured for that particular folder. Also
check the account settings, the mbox type has there a folder, or file,
to which it points and reads mail from.
In short, your On This Computer/... messages are stored in the 'local'
subfolder. The rest are custom accounts (and the special 'trash'
folder).
Hope it helps,
Milan
