This doesn't make any sense, and is not the purpose of subscriptions.

Example:
* I have 100's of sent-mail mailboxes I don't want to be subscribed  
to, because it is doubtful I will ever use them. These mailboxes are  
unsubscribed because I don't want to see them in any mailbox listings  
by default.
* I do want to see my Trash mailbox, because I occasionally pop in  
there to retrieve a deleted message.
* However, I do *not* want my Trash mailbox to be polled for  
new/unseen messages.  That information is both worthless (I move  
unseen messages into Trash all the time) and a waste of resources (my  
Trash mailbox may have an extremely large number of messages contained  
in it).
