This is useful; thanks. Although we really *do* need to see it at
runtime. I played a little with Colin's LD_PRELOAD hack and Evolution:

CamelDataCache | created 214 | destroyed 0
CamelEwsFolder | created 30 | destroyed 0
CamelEwsSummary | created 30 | destroyed 0
CamelFolderSearch | created 232 | destroyed 0
CamelIMAPXFolder | created 183 | destroyed 0
CamelIMAPXSummary | created 183 | destroyed 0

Are we not *ever* closing a folder, after the UI has visited it once?

No wonder Evolution tends to grow until it's eating all the memory in my
system... :)
