Is there any reason to keep subscriptions in IMAP 5 ?
Yes. I think clients frequently have a mode of only showing subscribed
folders as opposed to everything. This seems to be useful for mobile/low
bandwidth use.
I envisage "subscription" as either an annotation or a "Special Use" on
a folder rather than yet another axis of data.
