[Bug 1489564] [NEW] Unsubscribing from an IMAP folder makes folder disappear completely from Subscription list and prompts to delete parent folder.

 

Public bug reported:

File -> Subscribe...

I unchecked some folders from the Subscription screen and they
disappeared completely from the list. Additionally, once I clicked OK,
Thunderbird asked me if I was sure I wanted to Delete the parent folder.

== Reproduce ==

1) Uncheck a folder from the File -> Subscribe... dialog box.


== Expected Behavior ==

1) Box should uncheck.

2) Thunderbird should not prompt to Delete the parent folder.


== Actual Behavior ==

1) Box unchecks.

2) Folder disappears from list and won't show up even after clicking
Refresh.

3) Thunderbird prompts to Delete the parent folder after clicking OK.


== Workaround ==

1) Collapse the parent folder.

2) Expand the parent folder.

3) Unchecked folder shows back up in list.


== Notes ==

I found a superuser.com thread about this exact Collapse/Expand problem
from three years ago:
