Description
I've deleted several folders (which I was subscribed to) from another client. They no longer appear in the "Manage Folders" screen, but do appear in the folders list in the main interface. When I click on them, I get the following error:
Server Error: STATUS: Mailbox does not exist, or must be subscribed to.
Recreating the folder, unsubscribing from it, then deleting it works around the problem.
I'm almost entirely ignorant of how RoundCube and IMAP work, but from what I can gather, the other client didn't unsubscribe me from the folders before deleting them. I poked around the RoundCube MySQL database, and don't see anything relating to the deleted folders there, so I don't think this was caused by RoundCube so much as it's just not handling the situation ideally.
[5085] and [5946] seem to be referring to this, and http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog#Release0.7.2 lists "Fix automatic unsubscribe of non-existent folders." Should those changes have fixed what I'm running into?
I'm new to the project and don't know anything about IMAP, so sorry if I'm missing something :).

hi alec,
i just installed 0.7.2 over 0.7.1, cause have the same problem.
however, i still see the subscribed non-existing folders.
i logged in, logged out and logged in again, but nothing seems to change.
do i need to do anything special to make this work?
regards Eddict

Yes. Roundcube should unsubscribe them automatically. What version do you use?
