[Dovecot] Automatic Client Retrieval of Messages

[qmail at top-consulting.net]

So let me ask another way then..

can you have folders visible when doing LIST "" %  but which won't be  
used by the e-mail client unless subscribed to ?

I mean, what is the point of subscriptions if the e-mail client pulls  
in everything anyways ?
