I know it's not the idea that Evo is an Outlook clone, but I can assure
you that Outlook does just sit there with the "updating" progress bar
paused at times. Users just accept it because, well, it's Outlook and
it's sort of just how it is. I would be disappointed if Evolution were
to embrace that particular Outlook feature!  Can you give some form of
feedback saying something like "Download Paused by Server" and some
form of indication how long left to wait?
