I have cleared out my IMAP account and rebuilt it. Somehow, deep in the "Deleted Messages.mbox" showing in my account, there's 391MB of old messages. There isn't a corresponding "Deleted Messages" folder in Mail OR on the server. My deleted messages are in "Trash" (which I've also emptied). I can't figure out why this folder exists - it's about 7 levels down too (random large number->Data->4->8->8->Messages).

Any ideas? I don't want to mess up anything by manually deleting *.emlx files.
