OK, thanks for that explanation.  

What I think is happening, is that the connections to AOL's IMAP
server, appear to be hanging. When I delete e-mails out of the Inbox,
then immediately switch to Trash, the e-mails aren't appearing because
the mail client is still trying to connect to the Trash folder. I've
noticed this with other mail clients.

Once the AOL accounts were deleted from Claws, it closes immediately
each time.
