[Feature Request]: Folder synchronization retroactive window

[keithellis74]

Feature Description

Hello, just discovered this app and am really enjoying it. Thank you.
I would love to see a configuration option to delay ingestion of email for a set period, in my case about 7 days. The reason for this, is so i can be sure i have moved emails to specific folders before they are archived. This would ensure emails are in the desired folder in the archive and not all in InBox.

Proposed Solution

Add a configuration option say: MailSync__MinMessageAgeDays which can be set by users.

Thanks for your suggestion!
My goal here is to archive all email correspondence completely and as promptly as possible. Archiving emails days after they are actually received would not meet my goal, as the inbox/outbox could be manipulated before archiving.
However, what I would like to see is a configurable period of time for how far back the source folders of the email are still synchronized, for example, last sync minus seven days, so that with each sync, the source folders of the emails from the last seven days are updated.

Hello, been thinking further on this, I understand the goal of archiving items as soon as possible, this is good and covers off emails which may get accidentally deleted in the mail client. However having emails organised inside the mail archive would be beneficial in my view. Is the workflow below possible:

• archive all emails at the earliest oputunity
• Scan archived emails for a short duration, say 14 days, for location changes.
• If location change is detected within this window, move the archived emails in mailarchiver to match the email client

If this is not possible, could Mailarchive emails be tagged with the folder location. And update the tags upon changes inside the mail client.
