This problem was expected. The thing is that the IMAP protocol explicitly states that even if a mailbox does no longer exist (Binc uses a new hierarchy delimiter), the subscription list should remain untouched. If the client does not fix the subscription list automatically, you can delete the file "bincimap-subscribed" in your mail depository or fix the list with the UNSUBSCRIBE command. A funny thing I have seen with the newest Mozilla is that it sometimes shows items in its folder list as subscribed, even if the LSUB command says that they are not. That's a bug in Mozilla that I don't know any workaround for other than manually fixing the mozilla files under .mozilla.
