Sure, but if you look at the Thunderbird log, it asks the server to 
describe all the MIME parts of the email message.  I'm suggesting that 
Evolution just asks the server to send the entire message as one chunk.

Good to know.  The suggestion I gave will also work for any other 
application that doesn't have a specific logging option/

I've only used Evolution at work because I have to connect to an 
Exchange server.
