The setting which relates to looking into every folder when it connects is called "Check for new messages." The way to change it is to right click on the offending folder, select "Properties" and uncheck the "Check this folder for new messages" option. Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to do this once and have it apply to all folders, so you may have to do this quite a bit depending on how many folders you have. Anyhow, that will prevent Icedove from trying to inspect every single folder in your account to see if it received new messages. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
