This is similar to <a
href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231360">bug 231360</a>. 
However, the solution that <b>Martin The</b> provides seems more like a
workaround than a solution.

My problem is that subdirectories that exist under other directories are not
showing up.  Here is a sample directory structure:

-INBOX
--directory1
---sub_directory1
---sub_directory2
--directory2

INBOX, directory1, and directory2 show up correctly.  sub_directory1 and
sub_directory2 show up under the subscriptions window, but do NOT show up under
the folder view.

My workaround is to create another sub-directory through thunderbird.  Then the
directory exposes the other sub-directories.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create subdirectories outside of TB in the structure described above.
2. open TB and connect to IMAP server
3. Subscribe to folders as needed
4. Go to folder view and select the directory where the newly created
subdirectory would be.
5. Create a new directory
6. expand the folder and discover the subdirectory
7. delete the subdirectory you just created.

Actual Results:  
The expected result of showing a folder that was created outside of thunderbird
to appear.

Expected Results:  
Should not have to create a directory then delete said directory to have the
other directory to appear.

I just downloaded the nightly build (version 1.6a1 (20050823)) and I still have
the same problem.

To check to see if it was my IMAP server, I just tried it on (gasp) outlook
express and it works fine.  Also used mutt and that worked too...

but then again, mutt is a completely different animal...no pun intended.

No actual code identified, correcting resolution.
