You're right so far.

1 lsub "" "*"
imap(tom2): Warning: Subscriptions file 
/nfs/rack/u4/t/tom2/mail/.subscriptions: Ignoring invalid entry: 
~/mail/foo1/folder1
imap(tom2): Warning: Subscriptions file 
/nfs/rack/u4/t/tom2/mail/.subscriptions: Ignoring invalid entry: 
~tom2/mail/foo1/folder1
* LSUB () "/" "testfolder"
* LSUB () "/" "Trash"
* LSUB () "/" "foo1/folder1"
1 OK Lsub completed.

So the question now is what the fix would be. :-)

thank you
