I setup Evolution on this computer with version evolution-2.2.2-8. I 
pasted the CAMEL variable in the shell then launched evolution with the 
&> evolution.log added to the command. I didn't have mail in the account 
to download. I'll close mozilla, then try checking mail again w/ evolution.

Being that I do not use evolution on a regular basis, I never saw it so 
slow. The last time I really used it was with ximian on RHL7.2 or 
earlier. It surprised me with the time it took to download mail.

Not to knock evolution. But when something downloads 50 emails and the 
progress is taking substantially longer than other mailers, it sticks 
out for comment.

Thanks!

Jim
