How do I find or see hidden mail folders (aka unsubscribed IMAP folders)?

Use these procedures if you think you have hidden mail folders, also known as "subscribing to IMAP folders". Folders can become hidden (unsubscribed) for a number of reasons: Upgrade of client or server, differences between clients (especially MS Outlook vs Webmail), or other reasons.
