Sorry about the (possible) duplicate on this message... I forgot I had unsubscribed from this list the first time I posted it. So, Mr. Sam, feel free to delete the one waiting for moderation.

Anyway...

I'm attempting to delete large folders containing 2000-3000 messages each. I'm using mutt as my MUA. Here's a dump of the session, obtained with Ethereal:

a0033 NOOP a0033 OK NOOP completed a0034 DELETE "INBOX.read-200009" a0034 OK Folder deleted. a0035 NOOP a0035 OK NOOP completed

The thing is, the folder was not actually deleted. Initially there were 2800 messages in the box, after the above transaction the folder was still there with around 1200 messages. I repeated the delete command and this time it took it down to 575. The only way I've found to completely delete the folder is to change into it and delete all the messages, then delete the folder.

I'm running Courier-IMAP 1.0.

Thanks, Ben
