The problem is with mbox in general. Mbox can only contain messages, and since your deleted items (trash) is also mbox, you can't delete a folder into it. In thunderbird you have to go to the properties for that server connection, go to server settings, click advanced, and clear the checkbox on "Server supports folders that contain sub-folders and messages".
It's a consequence of mbox, but the "problem" is with Thunderbird's persistent interface mis-features in the name of "configurabiilty".
