Using Mail, is there a way to "password protect" an individual Mailbox folder?

Not possible. The best you can do is password protect an individual user account.

Is mine an "unusual" feature request? I am the only user on the MacBook Pro, with just my admin account, and a plain "test" account which is very rarely used.

I think this is possible,because the mac mail folder structure is clear,so you can password protect only one mailbox

see How to password protect only one mailbox in Mac Mail for more details.
