Q: Mail app: deleting stuck folder from Favorite Bar
I use Mail's Favorite bar quite often; it is populated with several folders which receive emails based on Rules.
There is one folder however that I simply cannot delete by click/drag. The puff of smoke shows up but the folder remains in the bar.
Anyone have another way of removing stubborn folders?
Thanks.

Thanks you both for your answer however, I was not referring to the Sidebar but the Favorites bar which sits beneath the buttons bar in which you can drag folder/mailboxes to access them quickly.
Control-click is not recognized by the items in the Fave bar.
I found the solution:
I emptied the offending mailbox and deleted it (as per both your instructions). Once deleted, I was able to delete the mailbox from the Fave bar by dragging it out; similar to deleting items form the dock.
Below is a pic showing my Fave bar; the stubborn mailbox was Torrnews.
