Thank you for your answer, Milan. 

Yes, the evolution-data-server is at 3.12.11 as well. 
The number of concurrent connections is set to 5. I guess it was default
value, I can't remember, that I changed it at any time. As far as I can
tell, evolution isn't using more than one connection per account though.
They would be called [imapx:A], [imapx:B] and so forth, right?

Just fyi, I have a total of three accounts configured, to of which are
hosted by my own email server, the third one is hosted by my university. The
connections are timing out for all three of them.

Thank you
Florian
