Dredge > Apple Mail > Mailbox Name > Mailbox doesn't exist

When I click the Dredge button and choose "From Apple Mail..." it asks "Type the mailbox name containing the bounces to process:" and no matter what I call the mailbox I get this error "This Mailbox doesn't exist."
What exactly is it looking for?

You have to write a folder name, a folder at root level under 'On My Mac'.

I have the same issue with Dredging, and your answer doesn't make sense to me. I've entered the name of every mailbox that seems relevant. The only thing in Apple Mail named "On My Mac" is labeled as a trash can. Is that in Mail or in the finder?

Then you have to create a folder under 'ON MY MAC', move to that folder the messages you want to process and then use that folder name.

I too am having this problem (Bounce Handler v 3.8.6-US) on Mac OS-X 10.11.4 "El Capitan". As far as I can tell the "Unsubscribe" mailbox I want to Dredge is Listed under "On My Mac" (see attached mailbox list). I've also attached my Bounce Settings. What am I doing incorrectly? :?:

This software is for processing bounces, not unsubscribes.
