While trying to identify possible causes of wrong mail folder creation I did something...bad.

Normally, I would recognize that deleting a mail folder would naturally delete all the contained mails. However...somehow my imaginative self decided that deleting a virtual folder via IMAP would only delete the virtual folder...and not proceed to delete every referenced email via the virtual mapping.

So note to self, and possible reminder to others, deleting a virtual folder via a filesystem command is just tiny bit different than via IMAP...

Fortunately I keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency...
