Found out how to "correctly" delete IMAP folders:
 1. Do the folder delete with pine.
[2. Open Mozilla mail]
[3. Select one of the deleted folders and verify that it is deleted, 
    by looking at the error message.]
 4. Select "Subscribe..." from the right-click pop-up menu.
 5. Un-mark the folders that were deleted with pine and close the
    dialog.
 6. Those folders will not show up again.

Why then is there a "Delete Folder" item in the pop-up? ;-)

I've used Mahogany from Sourceforge for such chores.
I found German-speaking IMAP servers to be quite authoritarian about what boxes should be present.   I think it wisest to get the name translated and renamed to English rather than removed.
