Synchronization schedule is mainly intended to control how much work 
MailMate does when idle, in particular, how often each mailbox in the 
account is checked for new messages. I can understand that it can be a 
bit counter intuitive that it's “overridden” when selecting a 
mailbox, but this is a feature.

I've got some notes written down about how some kind of flexible “do 
not disturb” feature could be implemented, but it's not something I've 
done any work on yet.
