I have just setup mail to access my work imap account but what I cant find out is how to choose what directories to subscribe to...currently it not only has my mail folders but also things like my .bash_history, .bash_profile, and any other folder from my user account on that machine. Any idea how to tell it not to subscribe to all these folder? If I 'delete' them will it just remove them from my mail client or will it actually delete them from the server?
Got a tip for us?

Usually when you see that, it means that you need to add a prefix.
That's in Mail prefs, Accounts, under the Advanced tab, in the Account Directory field. On most servers that want this, the value will be either ~/Mail or ~/mail -- you may need to quit and restart Mail to see anything change.
