This may be off topic, but how do some IMAP clients keep track of the  
subscribed mailboxes?  I recently installed a new IMAP client (Postbox) 
and it pulled all the mail from mailboxes from last August, when I setup 
some subscribed mailboxes in Thunderbird.

My reason for asking is that if this information is stored on the  
server, I want to use procmail to update it when new mailboxes are  
created.

the file ~/.mailboxes contains ALL the mailboxes on the account, but  
that may be simply that my usual client, Mail.app, offers no  
subscription options.

In Courier is a file in the ~/Maildir with  the  subscribed  Mailfolders
and if you use procmail to filter, you can use TRAP  to  setup  a  small
script which check, whether the last folder is already in the subscribed
list and if not, it add it.

The next time you log into your IMAP server it is then automaticale used
