Actually both. Thunderbird shouldn't let you select a folder that is
marked as \NoSelect. That is a bug. SquirrelMail should be showing the
folders properly, but isn't... there is another bug.

The clients display of the folder tree is up to the client, and the
client author I guess... I don't believe the IMAP specifies how a
client should be displaying folders, just how folders should be
treated.

Probably not, but you're probably one of a few that has the folders
unsubscribed because of Thunderbird's bug in folder handling.
