        Hi,
I'd get a backtrace of the stuck evolution, with debuginfo packages for
at least evolution-data-server, evolution, nss and nspr installed, to
see where it is stuck, which may give you a hint from the evolution's
side.

With respect of timeouts, see [1], though it's part of your 3.4.4, thus
might not be related to the issue. Depending on the backtrace, maybe
your IMAP(+?) deadlocked.
        Bye,
        Milan
