+       The IMAP protocol allows one to store a list of subscribed folders. Most
+       mail user agents hide the unsubscribed folders away from the GUI, and have
+       a little window allowing to subscribe to these unsubscribed folders. In
+       Claws Mail, subscriptions are respected by default, and only subscribed
+       folders will be displayed. If you want to see all your folders, you can just
+       uncheck <quote>Show subscribed folders only</quote> in the IMAP mailbox'
+       contextual menu or the account preferences. You'll be able to subscribe and 
+       unsubscribe folders from this contextual menu too. If the unsubscribed 
+       folders are hidden from the list, you will have two ways to subscribe to 
+       a folder: either show all folders, subscribe the ones you want, and hide 
+       unsubscribed folders again; or, if you know the folder's name, use 
+       <quote>Create new folder</quote> in its parent's contextual menu.
