I opened a *big* spam folder, approximately 2000 messages. It was obviously all
spam so I right-clicked on the folder and deleted it. 

Now I keep getting the following dialog boxes:

The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: SELECT failed:
Can't open mailbox Mail/richlists/junk: no such mailbox

and

The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Command
unrecognised: UID FETCH.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Please see details
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Still trying to get rid of these interminable dialog boxes. May have to kill the
process...

Expected Results:  
Either recognised that I had deleted the mailbox and given up on the spam
checking /or/ interpret the "mailbox not found error" and cancel all the queued
(presumably) retrieves.
