Well, you can do that - I can bookmark arbitrary IMAP URLs in ACAP,  
and that includes mailbox URLs. This ties in closely with Mark's  
"suscriptions are bookmarks" concept that I recall him saying. I do  
use this - for instance, I have a bookmark pointing to the archive of  
this list on the Cyrus public server.

But I don't use this facility often - personally, I don't find I need  
subscriptions (and hence never implemented them), but that might well  
be a result of the kinds of servers I use, and how I use them. So I  
freely admit I'm not the right person to ponder whether they're  
needed or not, and how we could replace them with something else.

Dave.
