Nope, no filters or processing rules. The rules to direct emails into
specific folders are defined server-side.
The network activity dialog from claws showed that when that happens, claws
seems to be pulling around 1k bytes per message of the folder from the
server.

I'm not using my work laptop now so i don't have claws, but i can probably
attach some sample log lines sometime tomorrow, if that helps.

Could something be off with the caching maybe ? i generally ticked the
'synchronize for offline use' option.

Regards,
Romain.
