App

Device model

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open Unified Inbox from the sidebar if you're not already there.
  2. Pull down to refresh.
Expected behavior

It updates only the folders that are included in the Unified Inbox. (Synchronizing one folder generally takes only takes a few seconds, and I only include Inbox, Sent mail and Drafts in the Unified Inbox, so it shouldn't take long.)

Actual behavior

It updates all folders, even ones that aren't included in the unified inbox, so it takes about a minute to complete. (I use GMail, and there are 7 standard folders and I have 15 tags, which appear as folders via IMAP.)

Having an option to synchronize all folders is useful, but we have the Synchronize button on the sidebar for that. I'd expect refreshing while viewing the Unified Inbox to only update those folders that need be up to date to show an up-to-date unified inbox.
