If it is then it's likely somehow related to the re-implemented mailbox 
list, but I haven't done any functional changes with respect to deleting 
mailboxes. MailMate should explicitly warn you if you use “Mailbox ▸ 
Delete Mailbox” on a non-empty mailbox. Maybe it's more likely that 
you moved the mailbox as suggested by another list member.

If it's a move then it's probably best to wait for it to complete and 
then move it back. An actual mailbox deletion (with the warning) would 
be fast and non-reversible. You would have to find the emails in the 
local backup of your machine.

No, this just forces MailMate to do a quick check for server-side 
changes to the mailbox. It's usually not doing anything, because such a 
sync is also done when selecting an IMAP mailbox.
