Yep, that is possible. I use thunderbird as SOGo client and my first
step is to disable the offline imap stuff. Go to account settings and
find synchronization & storage (translated from German where it is
called Konten-Einstellung and Synchronisation & Speicherplatz). There
you can disable the sync of all folders.
I don't know why they enable it by default. I don't use the wizard rot
account creation because of this. Even if you disable offline imap the
already downloaded mails are not removed.
I expected that. I'm having problems with the laptop atm - it looks as
though
the transformer may be dodgy - but when I get that fixed I intend
changing the setting first, then removing all the imap mail. I assume that
will make it download the headers,as it would on on-line mode, and all should
then be well.
Just at the moment I feel to be fighting everything. You know how it goes :-)
We all have those periods.
