Thanks for noticing :)

Yes, that's part of the explanation. More below.

Closing/opening the Activity Viewer would be the best way to get around this bug, but I believe I've fixed it in r7036. In short, the bug was that the most recently created connection (IMAP or SMTP) would not show up. Typically, this would be an SMTP connection and triggering this bug would then also trigger a missing IMAP connection to show up in the Activity Viewer.

The r7036 release should also display an “Edit Subscriptions” section in the Activity Viewer when relevant. This will show a log for each mailbox retrieval done when using the “Edit Subscriptions” button in the IMAP accounts editor. It might make debugging a bit easier (maybe this is primarily a feature for me :) ).
