That is set when the account is initially configured. There are two options 
for IMAP:
 - IMAP
 - Disconnected IMAP

 The dimap allows stores a copy of all email locally. I understand that this 
is not appropriate if the accounts are high volume and the network is slow.

 When the connection is established all email is downloaded. When there is no 
network connection the operations are stacked so that when the network is 
restored the mail box is synchronised.

All my IMAP accounts are dealt that way.
