Try talking IMAP directly. Then you'll know exactly what's happening.

Either start with: telnet imap.server.org 143
Or: openssl s_client -connect imap.server.org:993

Then start giving commands:

a login username password
b delete test
c unsubscribe test
d list "" *
e lsub "" *

(include the a..e tags at the beginning)

If it's still not gone with those commands, show what replies b..e give?
