If you create mailboxes "On My Mac" named "TEST" and "SUB-TEST" and put "SUB-TEST" inside "TEST", you will find that you can also put messages into "TEST". If you look inside the folder ./Users/ <username>/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ you will find folders named "TEST" and "TEST.mbox". "TEST" contains the sub-mailboxes, while "TEST.mbox" contains messages.

Does anybody know why the Import folder is grey? I can seem to get to it programatically. The top mailboxes of the application show a mailbox "Import/ylan" which I can manipulate, but they never show a mailbox "Import". I believe that the grey icon is telling me something, but I don't know what.


I believe the grey (or white) folder is a 'mailbox folder', which can only contain other mailboxes, not mail messages. You'll notice you can't drag any mail into a mailbox folder, whereas a (blue) mailbox will happily accept it.
