Now that y'all mention it, it seems that Evolution 1.2.2 occasionally
takes an inordinately long time (circa 10 seconds) when I try to view
new messages that have arrived in large (500-5000 messages) IMAP
folders, and I don't think I saw this before. When I've noticed this,
local CPU and network traffic were minimal, and the server CPU was
pegged.

Is this a known problem? And if not, is there a good way to turn on IMAP
debugging? If not, I will re-learn the magic for decrypting IMAPS
streams and see if I can figure out what is happening.
