How can I prevent it from checking for new mail on ALL IMAP folder

I only want new mail from my inbox folder... not every one of the 756 folders
on my company's IMAP server. How do I set this up? Until I figure this out,
it is unusable to me.

Thanks
Dan

Right-click on the account name in the Folder pane and select
Properties. On the IMAP tab, deselect 'Check for new messages in all
folders'.

This doesn't work. I unchecked that option, and it still is download from
all folders every time it sends/receives.

Ok, after Unchecking that option, I then had to right click every folder, and
set the Synchronization settings to "Don't Synchronize", then it finally
worked.
