Update: the VIPSenders.plist regenerates each time that Apple Mail is open (after being trashed). Even more, if I open it and delete contents with PlistEdit Pro, save it and open Apple Mail again, all is regenerated, including such deleted contents of VIPSenders.plist.

I have the same problem. The VIP mailbox appeared out of nowhere and is empty but I cannot delete it. This advice looked good except that I upgraded to Yosemite a few weeks ago. BIG, BIG MISTAKE. It is complete rubbish.


I cannot find anything you mention in your advice but then I cannot find anything in Yosemite. They have completely screwed the SEARCH facility and so many other things no longer work the way they used to. I cannot find MAIL. The only MAIL I can find is MAIL SCRIPTS or the MAIL.app. LIBRARY has ceased to exist as has UTILITIES and Yosemite has messed up my MAIL SEARCH as well.


There are all kinds of other problems with Yosemite but Apple don't care. They just say re-install. Apple is getting as bad as Microsoft.

After none of the solutions really yielded results, I tried the following: Click the drop-down arrow on the left of the VIP mailbox; on each of the supposed 'VIPs', I right-clicked and chose option - 'Remove fromVIP'. Voila! The mailbox disappeared! Luckily there were just a couple of 'VIPs' to be removed in my case! Hope this helps.
