Maybe this is a double submit for bug id 183429. But 183429 seems still be
unconfirmed.

Cyrus IMAP/Mozilla 1.2.1 (Mailclient)/Linux/Win2k/Win98

The Mailclient seems to start applying the filters to the messages of the inbox
(when downloading new headers from the imap server) before all
subscribed imap folders are loaded. I run into this problem only on folders in
the "third level" below the inbox (didn't test deeper levels):

Inbox
->Folder1
  |
  ->Folder1.2
    |
    ->Folder1.2.1
    |
    ->Folder1.2.2 (etc) 

Folders at level 1 and 1.2 are ok. But filters applied to folders on level 1.2.x
are failing on startup ("folder doesn't exist"). I have to manually open the
subfolders on 1.2.x before filter will process this folders. 

All(!!) folders are on a cyrus imap server and subscribed. Folders contain many
mails.

Client: Mozilla 1.2.1, experienced on Win2000/Win98 and Linux. Seems not to be
OS specific.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create Folders with three or more levels and subscribe them!
2. Apply a filter to a folder on level 3 or more
3. Close and start the mail client (be sure there are new mails which will be
processed by the filters created at 1.)

Actual Results:  
The filter(s) are not applied to the message. Error: "..folder doesn't exist..".
After manually open the folders you can run the filter(s) with no problem.

Expected Results:  
Apply the filters correctly as the folders DO exist and subscribed.
