} It appears that Vista Mail refuses to descend any hierarchy that it
} can not SUBSCRIBE.

If this does (as someone else suggested) work the same way as IM&N/OE
in XP, then you can in fact descend the hierarchy; you just have to
go out of your way to do it.

When you want to look at any particular IMAP folder, right-click on
the server name in the tree and select "IMAP Folders...", then search
for the folder you want in the list, select it, and click the "GO TO"
button at the bottom of the dialog.

The folder will now appear in the tree and you'll be able to look at the
messages, but will almost certainly vanish when you exit/restart.  The
entire hierarchy must be subscribe-able to store the name for more than
one session.

It also works to select "Properties" and then click the big friendly
"IMAP Folders ..." button at the top of the display.

Note, I don't have Vista and can't actually confirm that the above
still works in a similar way, but maybe some of you who do have it can
work out an equivalent set of instructions.
