I'd say "no" but KMail seems to differ.

Yes, I think so, too. I have no idea how or why KMail thinks there is
mail there.

This is something that recently changed. There has never been any
indication of mails at this level until last week. I did not put any
mails there, I do not have any clue what those could be.

My last change to that IMAP account (the server name changed) broke all
my filters, so I would really like to find a less destructive way.
