How do I delete a mailbox in Mail
Mac OS X (10.6.2)
I think you mean you want to delete an account rather than a mailbox.
Mail preferences > accounts, select the account on the left side of the window and click on the '-' icon in the bottom left corner.
Long story... I tried to create a second @me.com mail box so that I would have my everyday mailbox and one that I would use for a non-profit that I work with.
I thought I had set the new one up correctly SJNHA@me.com
What ever I did or did not do setting this up it just wouldn't operate. It all having to do with the incoming and outgoing mail server.
I decided just to scrap the whole idea and delete the half set up mailbox. I can't even seem to do that.

Here is what worked for me: Right click and then choose "Remove from VIPs'" in OS X 10.9.2 and Mail v 7.2. VIP Mail box gone.

New Mailbox
Export Mailbox
even
Edit and take 'Online"
But no delete
Exactly which mailbox is it that you are trying to delete.
That did it... Thanks
