[Dovecot] Know when a Folder is Expunged or Deleted

[Alex Baule]

Using the mail_storage_set_error()  works well, i set my messages with
this..!

I said use the rename, because to delete a folder call the rename function,
ex(MyFolder --> Trash.MyFolder)

i will use the mailbox_status() in rename hook, because if i return -1, the
Folder will remain unchanged, and don't be moved to Trash.
