Sorry, if this is something, you've already tested, but you didn't
mention it in you mail:
This happens very often, if the file hasn't the correct rights for
write access or is owned by another user or group. E.g. the user,
you're testing with as a script is able to write (and therefore
delete) to /var/www/html/interface/mail, but the user Apache runs
under (usually httpd, nobody or something similar) isn't. The Apache
seems to have read access to /var/www/html/interface/mail and write
access to /var/www/html/interface/mail/home/dirvol though, because the
copy and rename works.

You may also try using
unlink ("$imbox/$file") or warn "Can't delete $imbox/$file: $!";
instead of a simple but non-responsive
unlink ("$imbox/$file");
This should give a good clue, what's going wrong. Hope, this helps.
BTW: I assume a Unix derivative like Linux or BSD according to the
file and directory names, you used. :-)
Kind regards, Axel Beckert
