2) Just implement IMAP protocol correctly and efficiently and without

Like making "subscribed folders" be the same as "folders that are
checked for new mail" instead of having "subscribe" exist but be
pointless?
This doesn't make any sense, and is not the purpose of subscriptions.
Example:
* I have 100's of sent-mail mailboxes I don't want to be subscribed
to, because it is doubtful I will ever use them. These mailboxes are
unsubscribed because I don't want to see them in any mailbox listings
by default.
* I do want to see my Trash mailbox, because I occasionally pop in
there to retrieve a deleted message.
* However, I do *not* want my Trash mailbox to be polled for
new/unseen messages. That information is both worthless (I move
unseen messages into Trash all the time) and a waste of resources (my
Trash mailbox may have an extremely large number of messages contained
in it).
