What exactly do you mean by the "subscription" process?  The folder was 
already manually subscribed to using Outlook.  The subscription shows up 
every time.  I think it does disappear and then reappear though...

Yeah.  I'd be a member of the choir that you're preaching to.  I've used 
Thunderbird for quite some time myself (3 years perhaps?), however, my 
company provides hosting services, so saying no to Outlook isn't exactly 
an option.
