Well, as I see it there are two options:
1. Make moving a folder automatically rename if the destination already exists, but allow copies to continue to merge the folders. (This was a lifesaver for me when I was moving mail between two accounts and hadn't provided sufficient quota on the destination account first.) Also make this work for IMAP.
2. Propagate the optional destination folder name throughout the mailnews codebase, including the copy service and the imap service. Then you would update the two implementations of DeleteSubFolders to handle the duplicate folder name case.
