@Vivaldi thanks a lot for the mail update! For a moment I had feared I was the only user of the mail manager 🙈

Last time I tried the mail feature and connected it to my locally hosted (literally localhost) IMAP, it apparently tried to download/index/parse every last one of the many hundreds of thousamds of my stored e-mails, instead of just getting IMAP folders and message headers. I seem to recall I had to `kill -9` it to regain control of the system. Might this have changed recently?

When you add a mail account to Vivaldi Mail it'll download a month worth of messages, but you can adjust it from Settings > Mail accounts > select account > Identity > Sync Options.

@Vivaldi but will it do that before or after I add that account according to those settings? And what is a month, really? A month from every last folder? No.
