<pre wrap="">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?

<pre wrap="">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, _independently_ of what is in
their same line. I had not noticed that this dialog is a table with
several lines and 2 columns.

Well, sometimes you need some experience to understand the details. And
yes, 'apply to subfolders' is quite usefull. If you have some folder
hierarchy maintained only manually, then it has its merit to disable
mail scanning for the whole hierarchy. But there are other settings
where this recursive behavior could be considered usefull...</pre>

<p>The recursive thing is much useful, for sure. I use folders to
keep old messages in a practical way to access later, when i need
do - which happens with a fair frequency.

<pre wrap="">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)
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">
Yes, default is 'check all folders' unless you either switch to
'display and check only subscribed to folders' or disable new mail
checking for specified folder(s), eventually with its subfolders as
well.
</pre>

<p>This is a bit sad, in my opinion. I want to display several
folders that will not be checked for new messages. They are used
with a high frequency. So, i will have to disable everything
manually, every time i configure a new account in Claws, create a
new folder (for me, it is more common that it will not need the
new mail checking) or subscribe to a folder that was not shown.</p>
