no. i followed the example of dovecot and courier (however, i now notice
that it's not really compatible - subfolders below the top level are
not supposed to be nested even more, but use a flattened hierarchy. i
don't think this mix would be a particularly useful format for local
hierarchical mailboxes).

that's of course irrelevent for you now that you are flattening.

there isn't much to do wrong here, really. ^^
most likely is a mismatch in expectations as to what are deletable
messages (make sure you *really* understand the implications of what the
man page says; there is also some related discussion in the list
archive). if after doing the research you still think it's not working
as it should, i'd need the sync state and the -V -D output for a single
affected mailbox (send it in private). if you disagree on the semantics,
we can discuss that too, but make sure to be *really* precise.
