Where do deleted mailboxes go in OS X

Just wondering -- I just deleted one of the mailboxes on my mac, and was wondering where it went. I'd like to do an srm, and thought that it would go to my deleted messages mailbox, but it isn't there (and there were some messages in them.) Can anyone tell me? The mailbox doesn't contain any sensitive information -- just some old messages that are no longer relevant and needed.

NAME
reconstruct - Reconstructs IMAP mailboxes SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/reconstruct [-r] mailbox... /usr/bin/reconstruct -m OPTIONS
Recursively reconstruct all sub-mailboxes of the mailboxes or mailbox prefixes given as arguments. Rebuild the mailboxes file. Uses what- ever data in the existing mailboxes file it can collect, then scans all partitions listed in the imapd.conf(4) file for additional mail- boxes. DESCRIPTION
The reconstruct command rebuilds one or more IMAP mailboxes. When invoked with the -m switch, it rebuilds the master mailboxes file. It can be used to recover from almost any sort of data corruption. If the reconstruct command can find existing header and index files, it attempts to preserve any data in them that is not derivable from the message files themselves. The state reconstruct attempts to preserve includes the option names, option state, and internal date. The reconstruct command derives all other information from the message files. The reconstruct command reads its configuration options from the imapd.conf(4) file. The reconstruct command does not adjust the quota usage recorded in any quota root files. After running the reconstruct command, run the imapquota(8) command with the -f switch in order to fix the quota root files. FILES
