Sure, filters make it easier finding stuff when you know what to look
for, but I'm not sure that's the case here. In an analysis like this we
are much more interested that which we had not anticipated. For example,
what if Thunderbird leaked DNS requests? Filtering away all but POP and
SMTP would then hide this for us.

We're not dealing with huge amounts of packets here really, perhaps a
couple of hundreds of packets at most. That's a piece of cake to go
through and will make the analysis more complete and thorough. IMHO,
when dealing with these kinds of issues filtering comes in when that's
not a realistic option.
