Deleting the parent folder, where child folders exist, is a perfectly valid IMAP operation.
Ok in this case why not delete child folders too ?
Because that would be bad. Some people don't want to have all their sub-folders deleted, but rather just want that level in the hierarchy to loose all its current messages, and then stop accepting the storage of any more messages.
It is part of the IMAP design mentality that recursive deletes must be *explicitly* requested, by way of issuing a delete command on each folder level individually -- primarily to avoid user uh-oh's I believe.

Now I understand. Thanks for your feedback.

PS : I'm still awaiting a Sam's (or another) answer about the second issue I reported which is very problematic because it causes a Maildir corruption.
