I am often in areas without a cell or WiFi signal, so I would like use K-9
Mail primarily as an offline mail reader.

I have Push totally disabled, and I only want to Pull when I manually select
Refresh.

I am connected to an IMAP server that has a number of folders with messages
that go back several years. I'd like for all of those messages to be
permanently saved on my device so I can read them any time I choose, even when
I'm offline. Therefore, I have specified no time limit for my message polling,
for each of the accounds wherein these folders reside.

I initially polled for all of these messages. After a period of time, all of
the messages in all those IMAP folders have been downloaded to my device.

All this works, except for one issue.

I have several hundred messages in each of several folders. When I am on line
and select Refresh, K-9 mail takes a very long time to re-poll each folder,
even though all the hundreds of messages have already been downloaded.

If I change my polling time limit to, say, a month, this re-polling of
already-existing messages goes a lot faster, but then, I can only view a
month's worth of messages in each folder.

Is there any way to tell K-9 to display all pre-fetched messages in each
folder, but only to poll for newer messages when I perform a Refresh? An
alternative would be for the re-polling of already fetched messages to run a
lot faster. Is that possible, perhaps?

Thank you in advance.

As an IMAP client, it has to check status on every one of those e-mail messages.

A possible solution is to move the oldest messages into an archive folder and not poll that folder at all.
