I am using the classic view of Mac Mail on Mavericks. I am a bit puzzled about the folder structure and I have searched but cannot find the answer.
Here is my current situation:
I have two email accounts plus iCloud - both working fine and they can be seen under Inbox/Sent/Junk etc.
Next down is Smart Mailboxes which I understand and don't need to use. Have clicked Hide but can still see it - would prefer not to.
On My Mac comes next and I understand that this is to store copies of messages locally on the Mac and that it does not syncronise in smtp.
Immediately under On My Mac is another set of folders for each of the two email addresses that I have. They each contain sent, spam and trash folders and they do synchronise with the server. I don't understand why there is another incidence of my two email addresses. In one of them there was a sent message that didn't appear in the sent folder at the top of the list. The whole list looks quite cluttered and I just want one set of folders for each email address. Can anyone advise please?
