The IMAP4 folder named "Hard- &- Software" could not be deleted using right click in folder pane and select "Delete". The Folder had one single message sub folder at this time.

1.Create an Folder "Hard- &- Software/"
2.Create an sub folder of this one "test"
3.Right click on "Hard- &- Software" on left pane and select "Delete"
Actual Results:  
Message [NONEXISTENT] not found

Expected Results:  
Folder is deleted

Sounds bug 380655(see also bug 561688).
Get IMAP log, and check IMAP level flow around deletion of the folder named "Hard- &- Software". Tb uses rename command, if IMAP delete model of "move to trash"(==Move it to this folder: <trash_name>).

If log analyis by developers is needed, attach log file(never paste long data to this bug) after remove/replace irrelvant data or sensitive data from log file, please.

Simple workaround: Don't use multiple space characters in IMAP folder name.

There is nothing special in string of "Hard- &- Software" except that "&" is "&-" in modified utf-7 and Tb uses "Hard- &-- Software.msf" as file name. So, bug 380655 surely occurs.
Duping to bug 380655. if duping is wrong, re-open with attaching IMAP log, please.
