Public bug reported:

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, Evolution generates excessive traffic
with a only few (5-7) imap accounts.

E.g.  RX bytes:98361856545 (98.3 GB) for a computer with 5h uptime.

Most traffic seems to be generated when you open any folder.
E.g.:
1. Click on the "Sent" folder
2. Wait for it to finish loading 
3. Click on "Inbox"
4. Wait for it to finish loading 

about 1GB of traffic generated.
