[TriLUG] imap question -- folder deletion

[Chris Bullock]

I have seen this from the windows side connecting to a linux server. 
First, I had to delete the folder from the Linux machine, then delete it 
from the client.  It is very important to delete it from the client 
before you connect to the imap server again, if you connect and then try 
to delete your client will propagate the folder into the server again. 
So, First delete it from the trilug server, then *do not* connect to 
trilug with your client but open it and delete the folder and then 
connect.  I have had luck doing it this way.
