Yes, there are 2 things which make (made) the current implementation unworkable
for me. Most importantly, the fact that there is no way to obtain the list of
folders (not) to subscribe to before the whole account is scanned. (And again,
on a typical workstation also running an imapd that amounts to transferring all
files under your account, possibly even trying to parse them.) The other thing
is that there is nothing recursive to a subscription, i.e. there is no way I
found to select all mailboxes in the directory where one keeps them.
One could argue that that's a once-only action, but in reality that would go
against the fact that IMAP has always been designed to allow access from
multiple locations (i.e., mailboxes might be created or deleted while
connecting from a different location).

Isn't there a "closed - wontfix" status?
