Don't let "...string old_mbox, string new_mbox);" fool you. You have to add the server and port to the mailbox name also. So it would be something like:
imap_renamemailbox($mailbox, "{localhost:143}$oldfolder", "{localhost:143}$newfolder")
Just thought I would point it out, it took me a while to figure it out.
imap_renamemailbox
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

Don't forget that you can't be connected to the mailbox that you are going to rename (or delete).
If you have the following mailboxes:
INBOX
INBOX.Foo
...and want to rename "INBOX.Foo" to "INBOX.Bar" you have to be connected to "INBOX":
<?php
$mbox = imap_open('{imap.example.com}INBOX', 'username', 'password');
imap_renamemailbox($mbox, '{imap.example.com}INBOX.Foo', '{imap.example.com}INBOX.Bar');
imap_close($mbox);
?>
