Show or hide imap folders

When you add an IMAP account to Outlook, you can select which folders from the account appear in the folder list. Folders that appear in Outlook are also called "subscribed" folders because those folders sync regularly with the mail server. If you have a large folder in the account that is used infrequently, you can unsubscribe from that folder.
