It seems to  remind me the same kind of bug two monthes ago, where my 
Local mailbox was listed twice.

I managed to get rid of that by creating a mail folder in that mailbox 
(the "Create" button). At next startup, i was listed once only and I 
could remove the added folder (using the context menu) without any 
more trouble.

The Local mails are stored in ~/Mailboxes
 and the other accounts are in ~/GNUstep/Library/GNUMail
Does it answer you question?
