No, actually I hit Bug #305269, hiding created top-level IMAP folders.
Might be true that the case "recreate folder after unsubscribing" is too edgy
to receive special attention. However, this was only described as a scenario
where it is even less obvious that a folder already exists.

So if we leave out the "Ideally..." section of my proposal, the minimum
remaining is:
Akonadis failure to create a folder which (for whatever reason) already exists
on the server, shouldn't lead to a cryptic error such as: "Could not create
folder: Could not create collection foo resourceId: 12".
What I'm asking for is a more meaningful and understandable error, such as:
"Could not create folder 'foo' because it already exists in [name of
resource/folder]. " => OK

Akonadi's error could possibly be caught be kmail. However, this might be
Akonadi's job, because Akonadi knows better why the folder couldn't be created.
