No this does not goes away. The OP was talking about the fact that Claws Mail UI has certain options greyed out while getting mail (scanning folders) AND, bigger nuisance, prevents the user from accessing mails until the scanning (and fetching of messages) is completed.

I have a google account with lots of folders and i have to wait for CM to scan all of them and get  new mails before i can see a message (or open a folder for that matter) i clicked on.
Also if i have intermittent network connection (weak wifi signal, disconnecting/reconnecting) and CM is in the middle of getting mail, it outright freezes in the scanning phase for good and i have to kill it because even the exit option is greyed out and the right-click exit option does not  work.
This is NOT google mail related, this is reletaed to the fact that CM has a sort of single threaded approach to mail receiving/fetching/scanning.

So, it would be good if the scanning phase took place in background for good, and NOT interfere with the users actions AT ALL . Also, the  (temporary) loss of network connection should NOT freeze the scanning process.
