  Deleting Folders

  Choose Delete Folder...  from the main window's Maintenance
  menu to delete the currently selected mail folders.

  Choosing this menu item displays a dialog box in which you
  confirm or cancel the delete request.

  You cannot delete an open folder.

  When you delete a folder, any messages in the folder are
  placed in the WASTEBASKET and can be retrieved until the

  WASTEBASKET is emptied.

  If you attempt to delete INBOX or WASTEBASKET, all
  messages in those folders are deleted, but INBOX and

  WASTEBASKET are not deleted.
