No, I don't think that's currently possible. And I guess it's kind of a 
bug. These mailboxes should only be synchronized if client->server 
changes exist or the mailboxes are selected. I cannot quite recall why 
it doesn't work like this -- if there is a reason. I'll note to think 
about this.

If there's anything you don't need then you always have the option of 
unsubscribing them in the IMAP account editor.
