typically the client opens a connecton for each folder to check

and that is why K9 on android let you select which folders
are relevant for you on the mobile and which should be
completly ignored and display the selected in "common inbox"

so it is not "it's IMAP limitation"

how does help me "save battery" if i have a folder-structure
maintained by sieve if i do not get my new mails?

it's a limitation from Apple because they have not the
knowledge to implement relieable mail-clients see below

german but posting and answer from Apple below in english)
