I mean make a folder in Apple Mail, a folder in the "On My Computer" (local) folder area. Put something (you don't value) in it. Then rename it "Archive". Cue circus music.

What happens for me (Mail 7.2 on OS X 10.9.2) is that the mailbox disappears from under "ON MY MAC", and where the "All Mail (Gmail)" mailbox used to be, you now have a folder named "Archive" that includes three mailboxes, named "On My Mac", "All Mail (Gmail)", and "On My Mac". The two "On My Mac" mailboxes are copies of the original mailbox, the one you renamed). Fortunately, the damage can be (apparently) undone by deleting either of the copies of it. The other one goes away and "All Mail (Gmail)" returns to its rightful place.

It's clearly not any of the normal folder. Looks a bit like something out of aperture when you make a new project? I work for the Department of Redundancy Department

Here's a link: Apple Discussion Thread Since there was no resolution in Mavericks, I'm concerned Apple isn't paying enough attention to improving Mail.
