I want to be able to download only inbox and not any folders from online email accounts. Is there a way to tell thunderbird to only download the inbox or just a specific folder?

Downloading only the maildrop is how the pop protocol works. This is in practical terms equivalent to the inbox.

For IMAP accounts to can select which folders are subscribed.
