[dev] deleting folders from IMP

This is the desired behaviour, we don't do recursive folder deletions.

This is probably a bug, though only a cosmetic one. Try 4.0.4-RC2 and 
see if it's fixed.

I get an error message in this case. Btw, you can use the altnamespace 
setting in Cyrus to *not* show all folders under the INBOX.
