Summary: subfolders don't get deleted, when deleting parent
folder

I just tried to delete a folder containing other folders.

I wonder why Cyrus behaves like this? From RFC 3501:
6.3.4. DELETE Command
Arguments: mailbox name
Responses: no specific responses for this command
Result: OK - delete completed
NO - delete failure: can't delete mailbox with that name
BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid
The DELETE command permanently removes the mailbox with the given
name. A tagged OK response is returned only if the mailbox has
been deleted. It is an error to attempt to delete INBOX or a
mailbox name that does not exist.
The DELETE command MUST NOT remove inferior hierarchical names.
For example, if a mailbox "foo" has an inferior "foo.bar"
(assuming "." is the hierarchy delimiter character), removing
"foo" MUST NOT remove "foo.bar". It is an error to attempt to
delete a name that has inferior hierarchical names and also has
the \Noselect mailbox name attribute (see the description of the
LIST response for more details).
It is permitted to delete a name that has inferior hierarchical
names and does not have the \Noselect mailbox name attribute. In
this case, all messages in that mailbox are removed, and the name
will acquire the \Noselect mailbox name attribute.
