So does it only check for new message headers? Does the IMAP specification
mandate this behavior from the e-mail client?

I only want to disable the automatic check for new message (whether it is
downloading or whatever else Claw does) every time I change directory,
because it makes Claw very unresponsive. If I use the offline mode, then I
can not even download messages using the “Get Mail” button, and this is an
undesired restriction worse than the original problem.

Thanks.
