Unstable iCloud IMAP folders subscriptions
I am having a problem syncing my Thunderbird folders with iCloud. Every time I have to explicitly check that I want to subscribe to all IMAP folders in my iCloud account. Then after a short while a lot of folders get unsubscribed and I have to subscribe them again. I have experienced this instability with both Thunderbird and Betterbird as well as on Windows 10 and Pop_OS! 22.04. More people have reported the same issue, but no solutions have been shared:

Does anyone know how can I fix this?

Hi Erik,
In account settings - server settings - advanced, what is your setting for "Show only subscribed folders"?
Does the behavior change if this box is not selected?

I also deleted and recreated the iCloud acount in TB a couple of times. Also deleted and recreated TB profiles. And re-installed TB. Nothing solved it.

I get the same behavior with Outlook on Windows 10: disappearing IMAP folders. Looks like it is an iCloud problem.

Yes, that dit it. I unchecked this option and now all IMAP folder are neatly downloaded and synced. Thank you very much and happy holidays.
