With respect, I disagree. :) Dovecot does support parent folders with both messages and folders in them. But this is not an issue of IMAP servers handling folders differently; it is a difference in how clients handle folder deletion.
- Thunderbird 2: deletes folders when you empty Trash
- Outlook 2000: deletes folders when you empty Trash
- KMail 1.8.3: deletes only the messages when you empty Trash (like RoundCube)
RC's behaviour is not wrong, just different. This is not a bug but a feature request. It probably needs to be considered along side other questions like how RC should handle requests to delete folders.

well all imap servers handle folders diffrently lets take dovecot for example you can not have a parent folder with both messages and folders in it. so for another folder to be in the trash that does not seem like a wise chose because then you may not be able to delete messages. the trash is typicaly thought of as messages only.
