[chandler-users] Chandler IMAP folders not showing up in Thunderbird

It'd be nice if Chandler Desktop also subscribed to the folders it  
creates.

I'll forever hate Mac's Mail.app for it's complete ignoring of IMAP  
subscribed status, which forced me to rework my entire server-side  
mail setup when I wanted to try out Mail.app.  (It kept trying to  
download *all* my archived email since 1996).  Other mail clients have  
all interoperated with subscribed folder status (avoiding downloading  
mail from unsubscribed folders, like my archives).

Subscribed is a normal, well-supported IMAP command (6.3.6 in RFC  
3501).  Near as I can figure, subscribing to the newly-created  
Chandler folders will improve interop with clients which properly  
support it without affecting Mail.app which ignores it entirely.
