Because IMAP servers can react differently to action being taken on a mailbox if that server believes that the mailbox is currently in use. The mailbox will be considered “In Use” if that mailbox is set using the CurrentMailbox property. If you have a server that refuses to process a command because it considers a mailbox to be in use, then set the CurrentMailbox property to another mailbox or the root level and perform the delete.
