Most likely this is really just 1 series of nested INBOX'es, but it's 
displayed as 2 for technical reasons (your IMAP server probably has all 
mailboxes as children of INBOX).

In theory, you should be able to delete these mailboxes, but this won't 
reveal what the real problem is since something (maybe MailMate) somehow 
generates them. If it's MailMate then my best guess is that somehow 
MailMate (some times?) constructs the wrong name for the mailbox for 
deleted messages adding one level of INBOX.

It might help if I can take a look at this file:

	~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Sources.plist

For debugging, it would be nice if the problem is reproducible, that is, 
you are able to trigger the generation of another level.

Good, this is the expected behavior.
