  Evolution will not delete certain folders, claiming they are not

Bug description:
  This problem exists in Edgy/6.10.

  I have several folders that exist under my Inbox of "On This Computer".  They've been there for some time, and I've just recently emptied all of the mail out of them.  Now, for whatever reason, several of them are not deletable - at least not through evolution; some deleted fine.  I get a message like
    Cannot delete folder "Inbox/school".
    Because "Could not delete folder `Inbox/school':
    Directory not empty".
  Unlike this message indicates, the folder is empty as far as I can tell.
