Another tool that I use quite often for debugging HTTP/SMTP/IMAP/etc, is
tcpflow. It opens up the contents of each packet... run it like this to
log everything to STDOUT in a terminal:

tcpflow -c

Or, to get traffic to or from a specific host:

tcpflow -c 'host 192.168.1.5'

The -c logs to STDOUT. Without, you tons of packet files in your
directory.

I like tcpflow as its much easier to read then tcpdump.
