This customer was telling me that Thunderbird sees the folders just
fine, so I did a trace of TB's traffic and found it
is doing both LIST and LSUB. To be honest I had not heard of the LSUB
command before. It seems to me that retrieving
subscribed folders is going to give a subset of the entire folder list,
and I want the entire list. But in this case, LIST by
itself leaves off all the folders we were missing. In tests with some
other imap servers my theory is correct - LIST gives
me what I want, except for this case. So I can work around it for this
guy but I'm wondering if doing both commands
(then eliminating duplicates) is the best practice.
