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.
