IMAP can I view unsubscribed folders?

I have an android phone which uses Gmail.
I have set up my Gmail account on my desktop to be IMAP.
When I used pop I had lots of folders which I copied over to the new IMAP
account.
I only wish to sync the inbox, but I would like to be able to see the
unsubscribed folders in Outlook 2010.
It look as if this may be impossible in Outlook so could anyone confirm
this before I waste my time?

If you don't subscribe to a folder, how do you expect to see it in a
local client? Subscribing, in any IMAP client, *is* how you get to see
it. If you don't want to subscribe to a folder then you'll have to use
the webmail interface to your account to see it.
