Yes.

A mailbox requires 1 (and 1 only) of each of the following Folder Types:

Inbox
Outbox
Drafts
Queue
Trash

(They are all named quite self-evidently named except, perhaps, 'Outbox',
which is the Sent folder)

What you need to do is identify which folders should actually be the Sent and
Queue Folder Types; right click the folder and select 'Properties'; change the
Folder Type to the correct one, .e.g set the Folder Type of
the folder named 'Sent' to 'outbox'.

Once you have correctly set the Folder Types, you'll be able to remove those
rogue folders that you cited.

I hope that is clear enough!
