[Users] Check every folder every time?

Hello,

i have used Thunderbird for several years, and i want to start with
something else. There are problems with it that never get solved, and
this is really frustrating. Some people recommended Claws Mail to me,
so, i am starting to use it.

You can expect other messages from me. But let's focus on this one, for now.

I configured an IMAP mail account to check every minute for new
messages. It is an important account i have, and i want to mimic all the
settings i use for it in Thunderbird. But there is something very
strange happening: _why Claws Mail is checking for new messages in every
folder??_ I kept looking at it for a few minutes, just to observe... it
always says it is *scouring* each folder, one by one (if this is not the
untranslated word used, the translator used its correspondent in my
language, a very uncommon word, which i never saw in this context). This
enormous amount of scouring makes no sense for the way i use the
folders. The only folders that should be checked are Inbox and Spam, and
eventual folders where filters move messages to (at the moment, none).

What can you say?
