Yep, that is possible. I use thunderbird as SOGo client and my first
step is to disable the offline imap stuff. Go to account settings and
find synchronization & storage (translated from German where it is
called Konten-Einstellung and Synchronisation & Speicherplatz). There
you can disable the sync of all folders.

I don't know why they enable it by default. I don't use the wizard rot
account creation because of this. Even if you disable offline imap the
already downloaded mails are not removed.
