'Subscribe' to IMAP folders in Mail.app with a proxy
Authored by: ars on Apr 17, '04 05:24:10PM

Your set-up might be different, but in my case when I specify:
~/Mail
as the path to my IMAP inbox, I get my inbox plus ALL my other mailfolders. The point of the above script is to get only a selection of those other mailboxes. I want some of those other mailboxes such as the Send folder, but I do not want all my other mail folders. Mail will try to synchronize with all of these other mailfolders every time it connects.
Most Imap clients let you subscribe or unsubscribe to these other IMAP folders, but not Apple's Mail. Moreover if you have no local mailbox Mail will list all of these folders separately and does not let you collapse them. I discovered by accident that if you create a local mailbox, that it will put all of those extra mailfolders in one mailbox, which you can collapse.
