I don't know how to do it on the CL either, but I guess its documented  
for your IMAP flavour. One of my providers has a web interface for  
this. Quite nice too. (This solution is, of course, absolutely no use  
for .mac, or gmail.)

Well, if you unsubbed them too, they wouldn't see the folders either.

Still, you are right...

...almost. There are actually some other IMAP clients that provide  
only this level, or even less IMAP support and as you rightly say...
