Per-folder choice, yes.  Whether it is an exlusion or selection for
sync matters little, although having both options would be nice...
like having a list of all folders with a check box beside each for
sync or not, and a button to select or deselect all.  And a default
setting for newly found folders.

Thunderbird has an "Online/Offline" button in the lower left hand
corner of the window.  While connected to the network you can click
this button to go offline and synchronize your folders (which is done
when a folder is accessed normally, but only for that folder).  There
is a prompt for this behavior (which I leave on), allowing me to
choose whether to sync or not when switching modes.  This allows me to
avoid attempts to sync when I've already lost network connectivity.
When I go back on line, any emails I've written in offline mode are
sent (also promptable).
If dimap and offline mode handle this more gracefully, more power to them.

So long as I can disable the syncing of certain folders, it sounds
like dimap is the way to go with KMail/Kontact.

Thank you, Matt.
