Turns out it is a MailMate bug triggered by the import of an account 
from Apple Mail. Kind of 2 bugs: MailMate puts too much trust into the 
imported account details and MailMate keeps on trying to create a 
mailbox that is not allowed to exist on the server. The worst bug is of 
course the latter one.
