Welcome to the wonderful, messy, world of IMAP. I am by no means an expert, but I will point you to section 3.1 of RFC5258.

IMAP includes the concept of subscriptions, so a client can subscribe to specific folders. Some clients use this (Modest?), others not (N9?). A client can either choose to see only subscribed folders or all folders. A server will do whatever it likes, as no known combination of client-server seems to be standards compliant.
