Feature Request: Choose IMAP Folders and time window to sync / scan / cache

[sommarnatt]

Hi!

I'm one of those email users with a HUGE amount of emails.
It took a few days time for Mailspring to scan my mail history and then to cache my main inbox.

I've seen that you're developing an option to cache longer / shorter time than 3 months, however I'd like to be able to disable scanning/caching per IMAP account folder.

Would that be doable?
