The Mail app shows the folders that are configured with each mail account. If you need to create, rename, or delete a folder, sign in to the web service for your account, such as Hotmail, and make the changes there. Any changes you make to folders through your accounts’ web interface will be automatically reflected in Mail the next time you sync the account.

    You can delete folders by opening the folder in Mail, then clicking 'Manage Folders'.  There will be a 'Delete Folder' option.
