Unlike the experience of a few others, my recent upgrade to Mavericks has ended up fine, with a clean re-installation dealing with what had been an abysmally sluggish performance following a simple upgrade - apart from a minor problem with my imported Mail backup (and once I'd been shown where my User Library folders were hidden):
What are the 'alien' folders that have nested themselves beneath my subject folders? For example, "Extended warranties" in the attached illustration: View attachment Nested bumph.pdf
The "Messages" folder(s) contain, between them, duplicates of the emails in my subject folders; though sometimes they are all found in the first "Messages" folder, in which case there isn't the second nesting seen here.
They appear to serve no purpose. But having been unable to find a way of avoiding importing them and having an aversion to clutter, I had no choice other than to slog through all 2 GB of my Mailboxes and weed them out, one by one. The only consequence has been that Mail now opens quicker.
What has happened? Could they have been avoided? And whilst I am unaware of any, has weeding them out done any harm?
