If you want an interface in Modest to select the subscribed folders, see https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5553 .
I see every folder in my imap account. I would like to be able to select which folders the N900's client checks. In Thunderbird, KMail or Outlook I do this by subscribing to folders. I can not find any option to choose folders. Is there such an option?

From reading the bug report I deduce that Modest has no support for selecting folders to subscribe to but that in some instances Modest will only show the folders subscribed to by other mail clients. The E90 mail client allowed me to choose specific folders to view. I have it configured to display mail from about 5 of the 50 or so mail folders that are subscribed to by my desktop and laptop clients.
I plan to work around this "lack of feature" by creating an additional email account and linking the folders I want to view on the E90 to the additional account.

I set up a second mail user account and soft linked (ln -s) the mail folders that I wanted to have on my N900 to the second account then adjusted the permissions to make it work. This seems to be working great although most users do not have this level of control of their mail servers.
I found that Modest is using the .subscriptions subscription list from the server. I am using Dovecot as my imap server.
An additional request for Modest would be to allow modest to use Draft and Sent boxes on the imap server.
