the IMAP spec also guarentees that the server will not disconnect the client until at LEAST 30 minutes of inactivity so 10 minutes == broken server and if it really is disconnecting after 10 minutes no matter what (even if there is activity), then that just means the server is even more broken.

The server disconnects after ~10 minutes regardless of whether or not you are idle. Thus changing the mail checking interval doesn't have any effect.How many minutes did you set Evolution for the polling interval anyway? If it still disconnects even if you set Evolution to retrieve new mail automatically at at time lesser than 10 minutes (let's say every 5 minutes) or if you check it manually every 10 minutes, then the mail server must be broken.
