By default, Apple Mail downloads all e-mails from server's account. Previous versions of this client allowed to opt-out. The latest two versions? however, only allow to opt-out from downloading the attachments.
The stress on the server is unbearable. We cannot ask users to be considerate: this is the default behaviour of Apple Mail.
We need a server-side solution to the problem.
Please share your ideas.
first check if you can ident Apple Mail versions related, i recent have none in my log , but i.e Android does
---log ID sent: name=com.samsung.android.email.provider, os=android, os-version=7.0; NRD90M, vendor=samsung, x-android-device-model=SM-G930F
then you need a procedure for limit....i have no idea which one

I dont know Apple Mail very good, but as workaround you might use sieve to presort mails on the server at incomming in (sub)folders which arent synced at default i.e in a date named folder, for sure users ( you should know your apple mail users ) then need configure an extra subscribe on these folders. Perhaps a combi with virtual folders may usefull , for now not better idea , iam nearly sure this is not what you you expected and/or wanted
seems google has a feature to "hide" mails
see
