That presumes a client "configured to show only subscribed mailboxes". I
|
|
don't consider such a client to be reasonable.
|
|
|
|
IMHO, there should be a way in the client to show the mailboxes (LIST
|
|
command) and a separate way to show the subscribed mailboxes. The former
|
|
should be the usual hierarchical browser. The latter is more likely to be
|
|
a flat (or semi-flat) display.
|
|
|
|
I am starting to think that the solution is to remove subscriptions from
|
|
IMAP entirely, and replace it with a mechanism to stores a list of IMAP
|
|
URLs.
