How to get greater log detail from Mail.app in Lion (slow attachment caching)

I have an IMAP account, hosted by FuseMail, that is taking an extraordinary amount of time to catch attachments. I would say it is taking upwards of 10 minutes to cache one attachment. This is causing a side-effect in mail that it keeps spawning new threads for "Fetching new mail" which eventually makes Mail.app thread-bound and it stops responding (see image below of an example of what happened over night when I wasn't there to kill the treads).


I would like to see a more detailed trascript of the connection with this IMAP server to see if the delay is with the server or with my client. However, I have been unable to capture what I'd like to see:


If I use the Connection Doctor, turn off all other accounts and look at "Show Detail", I can see some log entries for READS and WRITES (FETCH and PEEK) but it's still difficult to see what's happening between those steps:

I just can't see enough to figure out if the problem is on my end or the FuseMail end. I have been looking around trying to figure out how to increase the debug level without much luck.


I found this about the sqlite3 db but the Envelope file is not in the same place anymore:


http://www.macworld.com/article/56673/2007/03/mailfix.html


I also played around with the defaults but could not find anything specific to the connection/transfer/caching protocols:


http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2004101603285984


I also tried the "Turn on Logging" Mail script:


http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/Troubleshooting-Apple-Mail-Using-Apple- Mails-Troubleshooting-Tools_3.htm


but if it is turning anything on in the Console, I can't see it.


Any suggestons?
