This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.

This is still a bug (or lack of feature). I would have hoped that things would be as easy as MacOS X's Mail application: A check box that says "Make mail available when offline". I want all my folders, whether they are created via this client, or a different one to be cached locally. I think the current system is probably overkill for most users. Ciao!

Agreed. I, too, need the ability to always synchronize all folders for offline use.

It would be great to have a single checkbox, per-server, that would set the default for ALL IMAP FOLDERS AND SUBFOLDERS. As an added benefit of this design, newly-added folders, would now be able to inherit the settings of this checkbox, instead of always beginning unchecked (very frustrating). No more needing to dig through hierarchies of folders and manually click on 50+ checkboxes, and even after doing this, still missing out on newly-added folders!
