Hi
I have a question and a problem

My problem
I modified the update period as agreed in the documentation
/opt/openarchiver/.env
*The frequency of continuous email syncing. Default is every minutes, but you can change it to another value based on your needs.
SYNC_FREQUENCY=‘0 0 * * *’
To save only once a day to allow users to delete ads and unnecessary emails and sort them into the correct folders.
But this does not seem to work, as emails appear to be archived every minute.
SYNC_FREQUENCY=‘0 0 * * *’
was set up before creating the folders to be archived.

My question:
Is it possible to target only one folder or a specific list of folders?
Example:
INBOX.Archives
or
INBOX.Archives.2025
or
INBOX.Archives.2025 and INBOX.Archives.2023
to back up only what users want to keep and limit the size of the backed-up volumes.

Regards
