In wanderlust, I press C-u RET when expanding the parent folder to
rescan for new entries, any new folders are then shown and able to be
subscribed to (unsubscribed folders usually aren't shown).
I could also do something like this to autosubscribe to new imap
folders matching the regex "slug" (it makes more sense once you read
the docs for the variable):
(setq wl-folder-access-subscribe-alist
'(("^%" . (t . "slug"))))
There's some elisp somewhere that I haven't tried that lets wanderlust
parse your .procmailrc and perform the same operations on incoming
mail itself - I guess a server-side solution is preferable, so this
probably isn't interesting. The "split-mail" options included in the
latest wanderlust release has all the same features as procmail, but
with a different syntax, and a simpler auto "refiling" system
available too which is quite useful.
The web page isn't anything fancy, but it mentions some other
features too: http://www.gohome.org/wl/
