Use Net::IMAP#lsub:
irb(main):016:0> imap.subscribe('mail/ruby')
=> #<struct Net::IMAP::TaggedResponse tag="RUBY0011", name="OK", data=#<struct Net::IMAP::ResponseText code=nil, text="SUBSCRIBE completed">, raw_data="RUBY0011 OK SUBSCRIBE completed\r\n">
irb(main):017:0> imap.subscribe('mail/ruby-core')
=> #<struct Net::IMAP::TaggedResponse tag="RUBY0012", name="OK", data=#<struct Net::IMAP::ResponseText code=nil, text="SUBSCRIBE completed">, raw_data="RUBY0012 OK SUBSCRIBE completed\r\n">
irb(main):018:0> imap.subscribe('mail/rubygems')
=> #<struct Net::IMAP::TaggedResponse tag="RUBY0013", name="OK", data=#<struct Net::IMAP::ResponseText code=nil, text="SUBSCRIBE completed">, raw_data="RUBY0013 OK SUBSCRIBE completed\r\n">
irb(main):019:0> imap.lsub('mail', '*')
=> [#<struct Net::IMAP::MailboxList attr=[], delim="/", name="mail/ruby">, #<struct Net::IMAP::MailboxList attr=[], delim="/", name="mail/ruby-core">, #<struct Net::IMAP::MailboxList attr=[], delim="/", name="mail/rubygems">]
You can find the documentation for #list and #lsub in imap.rb.
