 `send_as_email` is optional. When set, Matcha uses it for the outgoing `From` header while continuing to authenticate with the account's login address.
 
 `enable_split_pane` enables a side-by-side view where the email list and the selected email are shown on the same screen.
 
+`body_cache_threshold_mb` sets the maximum size (in megabytes) for the local email body cache. When this limit is reached, older cached emails are evicted to make room for new ones. Defaults to `500` MB if not specified.
