If you have all your mail in a special directory in your home (like me),
you don't need to subscribe, just to filter all the other folders.

Tools / Settings / Mail Accounts / <account> Edit / Receiving Options

- disable 'show only subscribed folders'
- enable 'override server-supplied folder namespace'
- set Namespace to the folder containing your mail

For me, that is '.mail', as I have all my mail stored in the ~/.mail/
directory. That prevents me from seeing all those other files in Evo and
the leading '.' hides the mail folder in my home. And I don't have to
subscribe to the numerous mailboxes...
