=> Wrong, DavMail does not do anything on its own, however sometimes a 
simple client request implies many Exchange calls

=> If DavMail scans your folder structure, this means your client 
requested it.

=> DavMail speed highly depends on available network bandwidth and 
latency, did you try it from company LAN ?

We need to find out why DavMail IMAP used with OSX Mail.app generates so 
much traffic. This may be something wrong with UID handling.

Note that any change to a message on Exchange triggers an IMAP uid 
change. There is a workaround in DavMail to detect this and restore 
previous UID as long as the folder remains open. However, this may still 
be the root cause of the issue.
