IMHO, only the “folder” type makes real sense.  Note that it is possible to hide certain sub-folders using the subscribe mechanism.  However, a nice GUI for that is missing.  Currently, you have to uncheck “subscribed only”, then subscribe to the folders you want (without having a feedback whether they are subscribed or not), and then check “subscribed only” again, which is clumsy.

As improvement, I think of a tree view with all folders and check boxes for subscription (as in Thunderbird or KMail).  In it, it should also be possible to add, move or delete folders on the remote server.  More work to do…

Cheers,
Albrecht.
