Using: default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u

I have a ~/mail/.subscriptions file (copied from .mailboxlist)

Using: telnet localhost 143

a04 LSUB "" "*"
=> works fine, gives the list of subscribed folders

a05 LIST "" * => works fine, gives the list of all folders

a06 SUBSCRIBE "test" => deletes the ~/mail/.subscriptions file, it never gets recreated and LSUB gives an empty list after that.

Any clues
