One more update, I tried renaming that "[Test " folder to just "Test", which creates an also not deletable folder "Test".
Good news is, if I delete these folders on both replication nodes from mdbox/mailboxes and mdbox/subscriptions they seem to be really gone. I can event create the folder "Test" again and it behaves normal aka. I can delete it afterwards via IMAP. Any objections againts that workaround (deleting the folder in mdbox/mailboxes and from mdbox/subscriptions)?
