how to delete imap folder with javamail

[Stone Yen]

Hi,
I am trying to delete a imapfolder.
after folder.delete()
the system did not throw any exception.
and when i use javamail to list subscribed folder, i cannot see the deleted folder.
It seems I successfully deleted the folder.

However,
if I use outlook to view this imap account.
that "deleted" folder is still there in the folder list.
then i tried the update folder list.
that "deleted" folder is still there in the folder list.
when i selected that should be deleted folder. then outlook told me the folder is not exist on the server.

what should i do??


crying for help....

Best regards,
Stone Yen

found why.

before folder.delete(), folder.setSubscribed(false) need to be executed first.
then outlook will know folder is deleted, and remove the deleted folder from the folder list.
