That is exactly the problem. You cannot delete folders behind
subversion's back because it stores working copy information in a .svn
subfolder.

Subversion seems like the wrong tool for this particular job. Normally
you use an RCS where you have files which change periodically and you
want to keep a record of every version of the file. Emails do not change
once you have received them, so you only ever have one revision of each
file. You would be better off with a basic archive facility.
