We have a problem with users trying to delete folders using Thunderbird. Part of it is a TB problem IMO (some discussion with Mark a while back; TB is trying to delete an open folder without deselecting it).

However, another issue seems to be that imapd is not unsubscribing from the deleted folder properly

from network capture:
3 list "" "Trash/test/*"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Trash/test/
3 OK LIST completed
4 delete "Trash/test/"
4 OK DELETE completed
5 unsubscribe "Trash/test/"
5 NO Not subscribed to mailbox Trash/test/
6 logout

- at this point, Trash/test/ has disappeared from the filesystem, but there is still an entry Trash/test in .mailboxlist. Thunderbird seems to ignore error status and thinks it has successfully unsubscribed - the icon disappears. But after exiting and restarting (logging in again), the icon reappears pointing to a mailbox that cannot be selected.

imapd-2007, as I recall
