[sylpheed:36500] IMAP folders created in Sylpheed don't show up in webmail

Greetings,

I've noticed that when I create an IMAP folder in Sylpheed, it does
not show up in webmail and is not propagated to other mail clients
(i.e. Claws). On the other hand, if I do the same thing in Claws Mail,
the folder shows up in webmail and also shows up in Sylpheed after I
rebuild the folder tree.

Based on the network logs from Claws and Sylpheed, it seems like the
only difference is that Claws issues a SUBSCRIBE command. Anyone have
suggestions for things to try? Would it be possible to manually force
Sylpheed to issue a SUBSCRIBE command?

Best,
Caleb

P.S. Here is the relevant part of the network log:

[18:55:02] IMAP4< 1 OK Completed
[18:55:02] IMAP4> 2 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN
[18:55:02] IMAP4< +
[18:55:02] IMAP4> ****************
[18:55:02] IMAP4< 2 OK Success (tls protection)
[18:55:02] IMAP4> 3 NAMESPACE
[18:55:02] IMAP4< * NAMESPACE (("INBOX." ".")) (("user." ".")) (("" "."))
[18:55:02] IMAP4< 3 OK Completed
[18:55:02] IMAP4> 4 LIST "" INBOX.TEST
[18:55:02] IMAP4< 4 OK Completed (0.000 secs 1 calls)
[18:55:02] IMAP4> 5 CREATE INBOX.TEST
[18:55:03] IMAP4< 5 OK Completed
[18:55:03] IMAP4> 6 LIST "" INBOX.TEST
[18:55:03] IMAP4< * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.TEST"
[18:55:03] IMAP4< 6 OK Completed (0.000 secs 2 calls)

And this is the corresponding log the same operation in Claws Mail:

[18:54:44] IMAP< 1 OK Completed
[18:54:44] IMAP> Logging **** to **** using PLAIN
[18:54:44] IMAP< Success (tls protection)

[18:54:44] IMAP< 3 OK Completed (0.000 secs 0 calls)
[18:54:44] IMAP> 4 LIST "" "INBOX.TESTD"
[18:54:44] IMAP< 4 OK Completed (0.000 secs 1 calls)
[18:54:44] IMAP> 5 CREATE "INBOX.TESTD"
[18:54:44] IMAP< 5 OK Completed
[18:54:44] IMAP> 6 LIST "" "INBOX.TESTD"
[18:54:44] IMAP< * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.TESTD"
[18:54:44] IMAP< 6 OK Completed (0.000 secs 2 calls)
[18:54:44] IMAP> 7 SUBSCRIBE "INBOX.TESTD"
[18:54:45] IMAP< 7 OK Completed
