##### Are there any related issues?
[Feature Request] Don't Sync All of All… Mail: https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring/issues/222
##### What operating system are you using?
Windows 10
##### What version of Mailspring are you using?
1.3.0
**Bug?**
##### Description
In Mailspring, email sync takes a lot of time to complete (thought we have lots of emails on the server and we use IMAP. **On one machine, its syncing since last 3 days**). The main problem is related to the system slowdown. **While the syncing process is going on, everything starts to operate slow.** Its very difficult to work on other heavy applications like Excel and Chrome, as majority of resources are consumed by Mailspring.
##### Is the issue related to a specific email provider (Gmail, Exchange, etc.)?
No
**Feature Request?**
Allow user to selectively sync the emails. For instance, when I first add my account to the Mailspring, I should be able to just sync emails of last week.
