As others have said, uncheck the "show only subscribed folders" - that will then show all the folders (and subfolders) in your mailstore. It doesn't "subscribe" to them, it just shows them without having to subscribe. In anycase, subscribing to a mail folder is just a tick box and you can do multiple subscriptions in one go - you just have to do lots of clicking, and unless you've got hundreds or thousands of them, it won't take long. At least you only have to do it once. Another thing you can look at is that some (all?) IMAP servers maintain the list of subscribed folders on the server - it may be possible to deal directly with that file and effectively force the client to be subscribed to certain folders. But this is very much dependent on the particular IMAP server and you play with this sort of thing at your own risk. (i.e. make backups, if possible don't use a live account, test things using a sandbox account etc. etc.) > Is it possible to subscribe to something not in > the Mail directory? > Probably not. The IMAP server will be setup to only present the files in a certain directory to the client and the client should not be able to break out of that. Besides, the IMAP server will only understand mail files/folders, it can't serve just any file to the client (since it works on messages, so it has to understand what constitutes a message within the file) - if you have mail messages elsewhere in your home directory, then you can do a number of things: move the files on the server into ~/Mail; or make symbolic links within ~/Mail to the other files; or, if the rest of the files are in one place, ask your admin to add another location to your account setup.
