just an update -- this happened again just now.

I had been running evo for a couple hours, and it appeared as though
the process of downloading messages for offline viewing was 100%
complete.

then I lost my wireless connection, and shut down web browsers and
evo. Re-established wireless, brought up firefox and then evo ...
could not authenticate -- this time the error referred to the backend
process (not the usual password error).

But, I cancelled the error message, clicked the  button to go "off
line" -- messages available from july to november 05 ONLY (WHAT WAS IT
DOWNLOADING FOR THE LAST 2 HOURS???????)

Then, clicked the button to go back online.

Evo re-connected in the background (no prompts) and -- again, is
starting the "downloading new messages for offline mode" process ...
it says currently 17% complete after 5 min.

Good god ... what is this program doing, anyway?
