The short answer is no, but it has been on my todo for a long time. I'd 
like a feature which allows the user to define custom standard 
mailboxes, but this would naturally also allow one to delete them (and 
this would then also allow deleting the default ones).

The long answer is yes, but it's tricky. The default set of standard 
mailboxes can be found here:

	MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/standardMailboxes.plist

This can be edited, but that's bad because it's overwritten when 
MailMate is updated. Instead, it can be copied to this location:

	~/Library/Application 
Support/MailMate/Resources/standardMailboxes.plist

This takes precedence over the default file. You can edit it and remove 
the mailboxes you don't need, BUT:

1. When you do this then it'll mess up the ordering of your smart 
mailboxes. This only happens when you remove a mailbox.
2. If I update the default `standardMailboxes.plist` then you won't see 
those changes.
3. I'm not 100% sure there won't be side-effects of MailMate not being 
able to, e.g., find the Junk mailbox. (But I would be willing to look 
into such issues.)

I do realize that the long answer also sounds a bit like “no” :-)
