In the meantime I have discovered that the subscription list appears to be just a plain text file held in the configdirectory! It is in the hashed subdirectory section under the user subdirectory of the directory given for "configdirectory" in /etc/imapd.conf. I just create the file (named <username>.sub) containing each folder name followed by a tab character, one per line in alphabetic order. If there is some reason why this will not always work then I would like to know. Now I just need to sort out how to retain the message status information when I convert the BSD format to cyrus! This appears to be in another file alongside the subscription file. I just need to figure out the syntax.
