Bug Description
This problem exists in Edgy/6.10.
I have several folders that exist under my Inbox of "On This Computer". They've been there for some time, and I've just recently emptied all of the mail out of them. Now, for whatever reason, several of them are not deletable - at least not through evolution; some deleted fine. I get a message like
Cannot delete folder "Inbox/school".
Because "Could not delete folder `Inbox/school':
Directory not empty".
Unlike this message indicates, the folder is empty as far as I can tell.

Thank you for looking for the upstream corresponding bug. There is no real need to open a distribution bug for something already known upstream, you might want to do that for bugs that you think should be fixed for the next version of Ubuntu not for any bug
