Hive mind who uses Thunderbird: The latest release, 153, has removed the ability to bulk subscribe to IMAP folders. You have to click the checkboxes one by one. This is a UX disaster, as our new employees have to subscribe to hundreds of existing folders. Surely there's a better way?

(In particular, the click-on-first, shift-click-on-last trick now no longer works.)

@futzle I'm really disappointed by #Thunderbird as well, mostly due to its thread layout. I'm looking for alternative GUI #email #clients

@futzle for your imap server use a subscriptions file (like courier IMAP does) and does Thunderbird honour it?

@david Cyrus doesn't have this. I could run an IMAP script on the server, to subscribe on the user's behalf, but I was hoping to avoid that. I'd prefer the user do it.
