Description

🚀 Feature

Use-case: There is a sieve on the IMAP server which dynamically creates new folders for incoming mail. These new folders should be included in "combined views" in order to not miss unread messages.

I can see this working several ways (either could be behind a feature config flag):

  1. Auto-include folders in combined views according to IMAP subscriptions (preferred as it will align with other clients)
  2. Folder-level setting in cypht to auto-include any subfolder for that folder

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Cypht handles IMAP folder subscriptions and how combined views are populated. Look for existing subscription logic and configuration options.
