from jefft:

"you need to use DiscoverChildren() and DiscoverLevelChildren() in order to make 
the subscribe ui work. DiscoverAllAndSubscribedBoxes() only give you a list of
subscribed, top level and the second level mailbox names."

Wait, Seth, I just find that it seems that sometimes after collapse/expand 
subfolders....some subfolders (after 3rd level ~) will disappear, is this 
refresh problem?

I am still seeing the problem in Mozilla 1.0.1, 1.2b, and netscape 7.0. I found
that Subscribe only searches "%" and "%/%" for folder listings. For example,
when generating the mail directory listing, it uses the following command sequence:

...
12 list "" "INBOX"
13 lsub "" "mail/*"
14 list "" "mail/%"
15 list "" "mail/%/%"
16 lsub "" "#mhinbox*"
...


I also found that the account/folder panel on the main Mail window, follows this
pattern, if the "Show only subscribed folders" setting is deselected.
