I suspect that "Rename:" line is cut off. It looks like the user tried to
move his INBOX, to an folder (unintended drag'n'drop). As the user can  
not delete his own INBOX,
this results in an new folder and in moving the mails from the inbox  
to that new folder.

yes, delayed expunge mode is a great help for admins. Don't want to  
work without it.
