A friend recently deleted a mailbox folder from Mail (she didn't move it to trash). Is there any way to retrieve that mailbox?

Not any easy way as far as I could tell when I did that myself to probably my most important email folder.
However the sent messages can probably be recovered. I think, but am not sure and don't have time to check, that the user/library/mail/whatever folder you're account is stored in/Sent Messages.imapmbox has pretty much all of them, deleted or not.
There's a couple scripts out there that will open the .emix files, and then copy them into a folder you choose. Sadly there isn't much of an easier way to recover .emix files, and the scripts are pretty fragile for some reason.
That's all the help I can offer, from the last (and only) time I did that.
