This seems to be rather old request, but this still keeps bugging me. I have a large number of folders, and subscribing and unsubscribing requires a tedious scrolling through list of folders, as the "Show items that contain" is greyed out. What I would expect and apparently others as well to do, is to limit the list of imap folders to whatever is in the search box.
