Bug#657703: cyrus-imapd-2.4: Certain subscribed folders are not being listed

[Ondřej Surý]

thanks for the bug report.

As you mentioned in your bugreport, it would be better to discuss this issue
directly with upstream. I remember some discussion about folders in the
upstream dev mailing list, so it would be your best shot there.
