<pre wrap="">Hello,
i have used Thunderbird for several years, and i want to start with
something else. There are problems with it that never get solved, and
this is really frustrating. Some people recommended Claws Mail to me,
so, i am starting to use it.
You can expect other messages from me. But let's focus on this one,
for now.
I configured an IMAP mail account to check every minute for new
messages. It is an important account i have, and i want to mimic all
the settings i use for it in Thunderbird. But there is something very
strange happening: _why Claws Mail is checking for new messages in
every folder_?? I kept looking at it for a few minutes, just to
observe... it always says it is *scouring* each folder, one by one
(if this is not the untranslated word used, the translator used its
correspondent in my language, a very uncommon word, which i never saw
in this context). This enormous amount of scouring makes no sense for
the way i use the folders. The only folders that should be checked
are Inbox and Spam, and eventual folders where filters move messages
to (at the moment, none).
What can you say?

Hi,
I have no experience with Thunderbird, but with Claws Mail, there is
possibility to tweak almost every aspect you can think of.
Regarding scanning for new messages, you can simply make a folder to be
ignored in process, it just takes some time to do it - right click on
the folder in folder list pane brings you a context menu. There is a
lavel 'Properties...', second from bottom. In configuration window
opened, approx. one third to bottom, you have checked option labeled
'Scan for new mail'. Uncheck it and this folder will not be checked for
new mail messages when corresponding account starts message scanning
process. Also, you can apply this setting recursively for all
subfolders.
That's it. You should decide which folders need to be checked for new
messages, you have tool to set Claws Mail to do it the way you want.

<p>This "tweak side" is something that really attracts me. (:</p>
<p>Indeed, i could change the "new mail checking" for only a few
folders, which are the ones that makes sense for the account in
analysis. But there is something i found very counter intuitive:
the "apply to subfolders" column. First, I tried to use the first
button, which is always checked, and disabled to changes. After
several tries, i surprisingly discovered that the other checkboxes
below "apply to subfolders" label are freely checked, <u>independently</u>
of what is in their same line. I had not noticed that this dialog
is a table with several lines and 2 columns.</p>
<p>Now, just one question: for every account i add to Claws, the
default behaviour will be to check all folders that exist on the
IMAP account? (IMAP may not always be the case, but it is the only
one that i care about)</p>
<p>Thank you 😁👍🏾<br>
