Hello.
This question has been asked before, but has not been asnwered that I can tell.
My question is not "what is this menu item for?" or "How do I use this feature?" ... the issue that I am having is that the options are all unavailable when I try to use the feature.
Not looking for workarounds or other optoions ... I would really like to know why I'm seeing what I'm seeing, and what I need to do to get it to function.
Thanks!

To be clear, the "Use This Mailbox For" option is active, but when I click on it, the resulting options of Drafts, Sent, Trash, and Junk are all grayed out.
I too have this problem. I was trying to allocate a mailbox for Spam messages but all the options as you stated are greyed out. I have search all over the place and cold not find a answer for this so I was wondering if many others are affected by this.
So I took a look at my wifes iMac and her mail application and she has the same problem so it is not an isolated one that I can tell. I phone my son who has a Macbook Pro and he reported the same problem, what the heck is goining on here?
I and my wife use MAC O/S 10.8 Mountine Lion and my Son uses 10.6 Snow Leopard with the latest patches.
NOTE: I just found out why they are greyed out within this article http://goo.gl/HbR6f as we were using local mail boxes.
In case you hav'nt solved this:

I.e. the server can decide the names of the folders, and hence Mail won't let you change.

That may explain why we get the grayed-out drop list but it does nothing to fix the issue. Neither does Apple by the looks of it
"Use This Mailbox For" grayed out
