Nope just quit using the window 'x' button - I never use offline mode
either.  After you close down Evo try running lsof on the e-d-s process,
you will see that there are no IMAP connections active.  You should also
look at the netstat -a output to see if anything is talking IMAP.
Ultimately, I suppose you could use tcpdump/wireshark to see what IMAP
packets are flying around.
