Unfortunately the implementation of IMAP in "mutt" is sightly incomplete
and you can not delete IMAP folders...

I am using a macro and a perl script which do it, but unfortunately  you
have to know the NAME of the mailfolder, since you can not get the  name
from "mutt" in the macro and pass it as argument to the perl script...
