I think you can argue that Netscape and Mozilla are broken in this 
regard.  It may be convenient to see INBOX even when it's not in the 
subscription list--but then how does a user *avoid* seeing it?  INBOX 
is a legitimate argument for UNSUBSCRIBE, and the only reason for 
allowing this surely is to give the user the option not to see it.

RFC 2060 is a more-than-averagely ambiguous mess, but I read this 
behavior as non-conformant.  Balsa could perhaps support it by having 
another checkbox on the `Remote IMAP folder' configuration window, 
labeled `Always show INBOX', sensitive only when `Subscribed folders 
only' is checked.  Any thoughts?
