Reporter is the title of this bug a mistake? The bug description seems to
describe a different problem all together.

fixing summary.

this might eventually go to naving.

adding laurel to the cc list.  4.x handled it differently.  I think if you
deleted a special folder, we'd give you and alert, but then recreate the folder
automatically for you.

I believe Seth is right about 4.x behavior... also, this is a duplicate of 
33235. 

Comment 7

[laurel]

I just checked Communicator behavior briefly:  depending on what special folder 
you're selecting, the Delete menu item or toolbar may or may not be enabled, but 
all I tried are able to be deleted with Del key. After confirming OK to the 
folder deletion's regular confirmation, we also pop up another alert dialog 
which tells the user that Communicator will recreate the folder (upon next 
startup and/or as necessary).
