Not sure where you read that, but as far as I know, it has always been
enabled by default. In fact there are a couple of bugs about this that
I've been very vocal on complaining about this dumb decision of theirs.

Enabling GLODA, forcing all IMAP folders to offline mode (I have 16+
IMAP accounts, and I was *furious* when I learned they stomped on all of
my settings like that) *and* enabling Sync all messages for *all* IMAP
accounts by default were extraordinarily arrogant and dumb decisions, in
my opinion (and I had no qualms with telling them so).

As far as I know, they have not changed this in any of the 3.0.x builds,
and said as much in the open bugs...
