Timo,

The "favorite folders" are basically links to the subscribed folders.  
Its basically just a shortcut menu.

This was a new Outlook install.  Also, it works with Courier (used the 
same Outlook account, etc).  Here's the log (RQ-Spam, and RQ-Ham are the 
favorite folders and the only folders in existence):
