some bugs are related to the mail preference "Show only subscribed folders", create this bug for tracking.

I've added a few open bugs to this meta. If someone sees value in keeping the meta open for purposes of getting "subscribe" bugs fixed faster please update the bug. If it becomes out of date or doesn't get used it may get closed for lack of value/interest :( here are the bugs which are currently NOT blockers to this meta ... bugs with subscribe in summary ~20 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=subsc&product=MailNews+Core&product=Thunderbird&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=subscrib&resolution=---&chfieldto=Now&field0-0-0=short_desc&type0-0-0=substring&value0-0-0=imap&field0-0-1=component&type0-0-1=substring&value0-0-1=imap&negate1=1&field1-0-0=blocked&type1-0-0=substring&value1-0-0=201332 bugs with subscribe in comment 50+ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&product=MailNews+Core&product=Thunderbird&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=subscrib&resolution=---&chfieldto=Now&field0-0-0=short_desc&type0-0-0=substring&value0-0-0=imap&field0-0-1=component&type0-0-1=substring&value0-0-1=imap&negate1=1&field1-0-0=blocked&type1-0-0=substring&value1-0-0=201332
