Exclude specific IMAP folder in iOS app

Hi,

In the eM Client desktop app, I am able to exclude a specific IMAP folder with this “command”
–imap-list-ignore-path-regex “xxx”

Right now, it doesn’t seem this option is available in the iOS app. Is this going to come or is there another way to exclude a specific IMAP folder?

It works, but it is possible you are typing it wrong.

Can you give a screenshot, so we can see what you entered?

It does work in the desktop client.

Where can I enter it in the iOS client?

It is in your account settings, under Advanced.

OK, I found it. Thanks.
This is how I entered it

But it’s not excluding the folder “backup”.

And what’s the syntax for excluding 2 or more folders? In the desktop client I have –imap-list-ignore-path-regex “xxx1” –imap-list-ignore-path-regex “xxx2”

Well, the first character in the command is wrong. It is not a long – but two -.

So:

--imap-list-ignore-path-regex "arbitrary regex pattern"

Thanks for your patience and guidance. I got it to work.

When you type regularly under iOS it doesn’t produce a “double dash” correctly as well as the quotation marks.
After copying the text in your earlier message with the “correct” dashes and quotation marks, it worked - just like the desktop client.
