Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Alice grants editor privileges to some of his IMAP folders 2. Bob subscribes to these folders (initially needs to use webmail, to get the folders appear in TBs subscription dialog, as stated in problem 2 in bug #554312) 3. Alice revokes privileges for Bob 4. Bob cannot access the folders any longer; ha wants to unsubscribe from them, but... Actual Results: ...there are no checkboxes next to said folders, so he cannot uncheck anything. Expected Results: Bob should be able to unsubscribe these folders. Or (suggestion): The folders should be unsubscribed automatically as soon as Bob presses OK in the subscription dialog (i.e. the non-displayed checkboxes should have the explicit meaning of "unchecked" instead of "do nothing"). This does not occur if the folders have been deleted by Alice (instead of just revoking Bobs access rights).

Ok you can't unsubscribe, is it annoying you (do you get pop ups error messages ) ? (I'm trying to understand what you would get from unsubscribing from these folders )? Can you delete these folders ?

The folders are still visible in the tree (which is expected behaviour), but since I do not have access rights on them, I get errors when I click on them. Obviously, they have become useless to me, and waste space on my screen - so the only reasonable thing would be to unsubscribe, to get rid of them. It is currently not a very big deal for me (sorry I forgot to set it to "minor"), (luckily we do not change access privileges every day), but it basically can be annoying for business users in workgroups. (A workaround would be to unsubscribe before the owner of the folders revokes my rights, which is probably unrealistic, or to use webmail to unsubscribe (if the local server has that).)

should we confirm this?

If that's still reproducible in 12.0.1 or later, but I don't have an IMAP server set up so that I could test this case. The other question is if it's a front-end or back-end issue, but moving to MailNews Core anyway as it's definitely IMAP specific.

if the server tells us that you can't select/open the folder, I don't think we would do anything when you clicked on the folder. It's also a bit evil to leave you subscribed to folders that you can't unsubscribe to - LSUB shouldn't return those folders, IMO.

I have another client with a Kerio IMAP server; if I have time maybe next week, I can install TB and see if I can still reproduce the problem over there (though I cannot guarantee that my TB settings will be the same as in the original environment - but maybe the default config of TB is more significant/helpful anyway?)...
