Thanks for your quick reply.

I just disabled this checkbox and used “apply to subdirectories”, per your
suggestion, but it does not seem to have an effect.

I opened “tcpdump” to monitor the claws traffic and I see several
packets to and from the IMAP server each time I change directory. Moreover,
there is the noticeable delay associated with networking (as opposed to
working with local files).

I note that am using Claws Mail 3.14.1 as shipped in Debian 9, in case this
has some relation.
