Recent versions of the Cyrus imapd define mailbox ACLs as follows:



c (create)

The user may create new sub-mailboxes of the mailbox, or delete or rename the current mailbox. 



d (delete)

The user may store the "Deleted" flag, and perform expunges.



This means to delete a mailbox, you will need to give the user you are connecting with via imap_open() "c" rights on the mailbox in order for imap_deletemailbox() to work.  Setting "d" rights for yourself is not the same.



Check the documentation for your version of Cyrus imapd.

setting acl is possible and must be done before deleting a mailbox

the Cyrus imap server requires you to first do a 'setaclmailbox <mail_box> <admin_userid> d' before a deletemailbox call is successfull.





The imap-client doesnt have these ACL functions, so this would have to be done thru a 'raw' (socket) cyrus imap connection.





As far as i know, this does work out-of-the-box with wu-imapd servers.
