Dear Maintainer,

Please advise upstream that right clicking on folders and selecting Unsubscribe
may remove that folder from the list showing at that moment, but Evolution
still checks for content and the next time Evolution starts, the folder is
showing all over again. My local machine has IMAP and sqwebmail, resulting in
both a calendar folder and a separate deleted message folder. I unsubscribe
both as calendar is not an IMAP format folder (I have not found documentation
in Courier-IMAP to exclude it from being offered) but Evolution still works at
trying to access it, and next startup of Evolution, both are back in the list
of folders subscribed.

This was not so much of an issue where it just resulted in log messages, but
the latest versions of Evolution in Sid show error messages in the application,
cutting down on the utility of the application. I know, this is an otherwise
mature application that doesn't get extended feature additions or redesigns,
but this is a little bit of functionality that should not be that complicated
to tweak.
