Switch Mulberry into disconnected mode and refresh the "broken" IMAP 
account. That should cause the missing mailboxes with local email to 
appear. Once it does, create a new local email account in the preferences, 
then copy all the IMAP mail to the local account. After that you can switch 
Mulberry back to connected mode and delete the broken IMAP account (though 
I suggest you save a copy of the local IMAP mailbox files as a backup just 
in case).
