Yes that is the way I thought it worked ( at least used to work).
Since I've upgraded to win32 thunderbird ( from an old mozilla version) it isn't working
for me. I'm using the default IMAP settings.
Currently ( at least for me), 1. folders can't contain folders, and 2. folders can't be deleted.
Can anybody verify this?

Brett,
At the moment, you can't have folders that contain both other folders and messages. You can have folders that contain folders only and you can have folders that contain messages, but not both. However, as soon as we can figure out our problems moving ldap over to the new server, we will be switching to Cyrus IMAP which will remove this limitation.
As far as deleting old folders, you should just be able to right click the folder in the left side column in Thunderbird and tell it to delete. It will confirm and then should delete.
Note, btw, that if you want a folder to contain other folders, the best way
right now is to create the folder, then immediately create other folders in it before any messages go in it.
Cheers, Tanner

How can I delete old folders? Thunderbird gives me an error when I try to delete it:

Thanks.
