           Summary: Need selective IMAP folder scanning for new mail
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.7.9
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Folders/IMAP
        AssignedTo: users at lists.claws-mail.org
        ReportedBy: holger at 99computing.co.uk


I have Claws Mail pointing to four IMAP accounts with various folder structures
set up on the server. Under Preferences, I checked "Scan every 10 minutes" and
unchecked "Scan local folders" (there are none anyway). I also have one of the
alert plugins that shows me a notification if I have new mail.

The problem I am having is that Claws Mail checks each and every folder on the
server every 10 minutes and while doing so is completely unresponsive. As my
folder structures grow, this process takes longer and longer.

All I want is for Claws to update the four Inbox folders and possibly the Spam
ones, but nothing else. I know the other folders do not change because I have
not set up any filter actions.

Can such an option be implemented? 

Sorry I only have version 3.7.9 I am using Linux Mint Debian Edition and this
seems to be the latest version for this platform.

Many thanks.
