Bug Description

This is an enhancement request.

In the Receiving options for IMAP accounts, there is a setting "Automatically synchronize remote mail locally". Neither the option itself nor the help page for it describe what this really does. My technical understanding of mail is at least of average level, but what is this? Same as expunging mail? Something completely different?

Either the option should be rephrased or the help page should explain it more thoroughly.
