You mean removing the "INBOX" from subscriptions fixed it? There wasn't
"INBOX.INBOX"? Having INBOX in subscriptions file should be perfectly
valid, and I don't see bugs related to it.. It'd be more helpful if you
could show the IMAP commands/replies that cause something wrong to
happen (use eg. rawlog).

Removing non-existing mailboxes from subscriptions anyway is an IMAP
protocol violation.
