Hello Luther.
I got this behavior too but I assumed that there was a glitch in my system.
At last, I tracked the problem.
I must close every Mail window before quitting the app.
Doing that, it quits flawlessly.

It's a consequence of sandboxing.
When you try to write in the well known preferences file, you write in fact in the sandboxed one :
Macintosh HD:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Containers:com.apple.mail:Data:Library:Preferences:com.apple.mail.plist
so, you don't see the changes in the well known one.
The contents of the new file is copied in the well known one when you quit the app.

Here a really annoying feature, at least for me, is the fact that the shortcut cmd + option + ' which is supposed to diminish the citation level is on strike.
I wrote a script triggered by cmd + option + ctrl + ' to do the trick.

When I import mailboxes, the name of the source one is modified. It become the complete path to the box.
Other odd feature, when I import mailboxes with enclosed submailboxes, only the main box is imported.
To get the contents of the sub-boxes, I must move them out of theit container to bring them at first level (REALLY boring).
