Thanks, that's something I was assuming as well. The only problem I could
think of would be clients that keep multiple connections for the same user
account open. One connection tries to delete a mailbox, gets BYE and
disconnects. The other one sees that DELETE was not properly answered and
thus assumes that the mailbox is still there. Though I'd guess that clients
that are able to keep multiple connections open are smart enough to not
delete mailboxes that are currently selected.

Regards,
Andris
