UW IMAP 2006a.369 and 2006b.DEV.SNAP-0609291750 can't subscribe \NoSelect

It was a bug that \NoSelect names could be subscribed in the past,
deliberately introduced several years ago to work around a Netscape bug
years ago. That workaround caused problems for compliant clients, and has
now been removed.
Any client that depends upon the ability to subscribe \NoSelect names is
broken. So are clients that unilaterally subscribe all names returned by
LIST.
I can't find rfc 3501 chapter which says that noselect mailboxes can't
be subscribed.
RFC 3501, section 6.3.6:
A server MAY validate the mailbox argument to SUBSCRIBE to verify
that it exists. However, it MUST NOT unilaterally remove an
existing mailbox name from the subscription list even if a mailbox
by that name no longer exists.
A \NoSelect name is not a mailbox. Thus, if "foo" is a \NoSelect name, it
does not exist as a mailbox.
