You are... as has already been told to you, the subscriptions file is 
accessed/manipulated by IMAP *clients - ie, Thunderbird.

Do as I suggested - in Thunderbird, right-click on ANY folder that IS 
being displayed, click 'Subscriptions', then ENABLE the missing folders 
in the subscriptions list (click the little checkbox).

If you don't see them there, then that would most likely be a 
permissions problem.
