They're all the same name (at least on my system), as you can verify on your own system using the following Terminal commands:
cd ~/Library/Mail/V2
find . -type d -not -name '*.mbox' | while read d; do
[[ $(dirname "$d") == *.mbox ]] && echo $(basename "$d") in $(dirname "$d")
done
What that does is list every folder that does not have a .mbox extension but whose parent folder does. If you don't trust your eyeballs to be satisfied that they're all identical, make that:
cd ~/Library/Mail/V2
find . -type d -not -name '*.mbox' | while read d; do
[[ $(dirname "$d") == *.mbox ]] && basename "$d"
done | sort | uniq
Note that I have a healthy mix of POP, IMAP (including Gmail and MobileMe and one other), and only-on-my-Mac mailboxes on my machine, the IMAP accounts have mailboxes nested inside mailboxes, and they're all laid out this way, so it's not specific to a particular kind of mailbox or account.
