This still isn't very understandable. You can delete subfolders with
either IMAP client (= IMAP DELETE command) or simply rm -rf in the
filesystem.

Or do you mean moving the subfolders to be root level folders? Again
IMAP client should be able to do this, or in filesystem level (assuming
Maildir++) you'd do something like:
mv ~/Maildir/.root.subfolder ~/Maildir/.subfolder

Timo,

thank you kindly for your time and patience,
It's a weird scenario where the user uses Thunderbird and managed to 

create folders underneath the subscribers' (her) root folder with symbols that
are not accepted by thunderbird.
Hence, the trouble of not being able to get rid of these folders.
Thanks for the pointer. I'll have to look more closely to the help pages
for the IMAP protocol.

Best Regards,

spyros
