Well, this is of course a silly statement. If the remote server is IMAP, then mutt is potentially capable of doing whatever the IMAP server is capable of, which may or may not include deleting a folder. But that's a problem for the IMAP server... However, it remains true if the user is mounting their mail over NFS or some other network filesystem. Or, as I have mentioned elsewhere, even on a local filesystem in some cases, depending on the specific implementation details. Mutt can't know if the operation is safe; it can't even know for certain whether it can know if the operation is safe. It is therefore never safe. -- Derek D.
