You can't.  At least with your IMAP backend.  This has nothing to do  
with IMP though.

It does work.  As mentioned before, it just requires that your backend  
supports it.  Yours does not.

As mentioned previously... because there is no way of knowing (through  
the ACL IMAP extension) whether this is possible or not.

This would be no different than if your IMAP backend supported ACLs,  
but did not advertise support for the ACL extension (which is a  
possible scenario).  A user could have no delete rights for a mailbox,  
but since there is no way of knowing this the Delete button could not  
be hidden in the GUI.  The only way of knowing would be to try to  
delete a message, at which point you would get an error.
