I was able to remove the offending folder from the subscriptions
folder, however a new problem appeared.  Thunderbird now no longer
lists an Inbox folder.  All the mail is there, and Tunderbird even
shows it when it is first started.  However, there is no way to switch
back to the Inbox folder.  Any pointers on telling the root folder to
display as Inbox?
