I thought about that but then I'd have to resubscribe it by hand to use it. I do actually use my Sent folder once or twice a week or so; sometimes more often, so this is inconvenient. But, maybe it's the best compromise. What I'd really like is a setting that says, "never update this folder automatically but when I visit it, update it then". Or even, a per- folder setting for the "Check new messages every N minutes" option so I can have some of my bigger folders like "Sent" only checked every hour or few hours while still being able to get my Inbox mail more immediately. Also I have folders which are never automatically delivered into, they are only updated when I explicitly move stuff there; I don't need those to be checked in the background. But really, I'm surprised that so much effort needs to be spent to check these folders when they change only pretty rarely. I had thought that the newer IMAP servers provided a way to just return new messages since a given message ID or something like that. Maybe I'm wrong.
