no, that does not help at all (and I'm using maildir, not mbox). The
problem is the LIST command for "aaa/*" lists not only the children of
"aaa" but also
the parent folder "aaa" itself which confuses the client which is trying
to move/resubcribe all children as well.
This got broken either with v2.0 or with my change to LAYOUT=fs.
