Deleting mailboxes is (will not be) built into Postfix.
You can switch to maildir mode, which produces one file per message,
by appending '/' to the mail_spool_directory setting:
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail/
That will change deliveries for all users, and requires changes to
mail reading programs.
