way to log the protocol like Thunderbird, but it's not necessary.
Install "socat" and run the following command as root in a terminal:
socat -v tcp-l:143 openssl:your.mail.server:993

Evolution does not download the whole message unless you ask for it
(e.g. by having a preview pane open). To debug IMAP:

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.

CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io evolution >& logfile

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

Note that Evo has various preferences which can affect IMAP
connections. Look in Edit->Preferences-><account>->Receiving Options.

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