This captures a lot of data because it is intended to really only be enabled for unit tests.  While some layers of the system like the IMAP protocol are careful to avoid logging any passwords, not all layers do.  For example, the communications between the front-end and back-end is currently entirely logged, so if you create a new account while this level of logging is active, YOUR PASSWORD WILL BE LOGGED.  Even if you don't create a new account, IMAP protocol traffic will be logged, so the contents of messages will be logged!
