<title>IMAP Subscriptions</title>

<p>As opening many IMAP folders on the server takes time you can define which IMAP folders to check and display in <app>Evolution</app>, and which ones to ignore for the time being, via the <gui>IMAP Subscriptions Manager</gui>.</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Select <guiseq><gui>Folder</gui><gui>Subscriptions</gui></guiseq>, or right-click on the top level node of an email account in the folder list and click <gui>Manage subscriptions</gui>.</p></item> 
<item><p>If you have accounts on multiple servers, select the server where you want to manage your subscriptions.</p></item>
<item><p><app>Evolution</app> displays a list of files and folders available on the IMAP server.</p></item>
<item><p>Select a file or folder by clicking it.</p>
<p>You should select at least the <gui>Inbox</gui> folder. Depending upon the way your IMAP server is configured, the list of available files might include non-mail folders. If it does, you can ignore them.</p></item>
<item><p>Click a folder's checkbox to add a folder to your subscriptions.</p></item>
</steps>
