Inexplicable

Inbox -> boojum -> Inbox -> Inbox? Really? (On webmail, it's even more streamlined: Inbox -> Inbox -> Inbox -> Inbox.). I don't know where these things come from. I keep deleting them, and they keep growing back, like the heads of a hydra.

In this particular case, I think it was due to using the INBOX.Spamscreen folder as a folder to file spam and various things I don't want into, but also Apple Mail special-casing it as the "Junk" folder. Then when I switched to Spam Quarantine, I deleted Spamscreen, but Apple Mail recreated it, one level lower down. Then I deleted the new INBOX (with the invisible Spamscreen in it; it's invisble because it's shown as Junk somewhere else), and it did it again.
