This is Cyrus behavior, not IMP behavior.  Deleting a mailbox in Cyrus 
does not
automatically delete sub-mailboxes.

For example, for the folder hierarchy "a/b/c", deleting "a/b" will not delete
"a/b/c"; and since the "path" of the folder "c" is "a/b/c", "b" cannot be
deleted while it still has child folders (instead, Cyrus will mark it with the
\NonExistent and \Noselect flags--indicating that "b" only exists as a
component of the path "a/b/c").
