I think this design error is more serious than the report above suggests. I am currently trying to sync 1GB of Gmail data and you would really be forgiven for thinking Evolution has completely stalled because there is no information and all the little spinning wheel animations have all stopped spinning. The only reason I haven't assumed the worst and forced Evolution to quit has been because I have been using iotop to confirm that Evolution is still writing to disk. When a process can take hours or even days (which is what a sync with a full Gmail mailbox would take) you really do need to know whether or not something is still happening.

It tends to continually show "Fetching summary information for new messages"... only briefly switching to a string like "Moving messages (xy%)" It should really show a real progress bar... or at the very least, show something like "Moving messages (xy%)" all the time.
