I have the same problem in Windows XP, Thunderbird 1.5.0.7. The problem only affects a few of the folders though, not all. Moving the folder to the trashcan by hand creates a copy in the trashcan, but the original folder remains in place.

Gary, or Jeorg, Do you see this on trunk? If so, look for dupe or confirm.

(note - reporter probably gone)

I'm not sure what you mean by "Do you see this on trunk?" ... I haven't encountered this bug for quite some time now, so it *could* be gone - not sure though, because I rarely delete folders, and the bug did not affect all folders. Deleting a test folder today worked without problems in TB 2.0.0.9 (20071031).

WFM for Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 and trunk 20080217 nightly (fresh profile).

As per previous comments, marking WORKSFORME.
