So, if I'm reading it correctly -- you have one (gmail) IMAP account with a large number of mailboxes/folders. You want some of these mailboxes to be "polled" (in the generic use of that term) on a regular basis. You only want notifications when there is new mail in a certain one of these "polled" mailboxes. In my earlier post I think I gave the necessary bits for the selective notifications. In terms of polling, the frequency of "syncing" (explicit mailbox updating) is at an account level. You can set that frequency to be every minute on up to every 24 hours (or "none"). Which folders are polled/synced is controlled by the account level "poll folders" setting and the corresponding "folder sync class" at the folder level. I.e., this is basically the same as the way you control notifications. You can set "push" up the same way - though with "push" there is no concept of "frequency". -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
