The main reason why I use subscriptions is to hide these mailboxes that
are forcibly created by some clients, such as "Apple Mail To Do" or
"Trash" which I really don't care to see (or use even in the clients
that create them). Wonder if it would be useful in future to be able to
mark some of these mailboxes as "internal to the client" and perhaps not
list them even with LIST.
