Bug Description

This bug is reported in Evolution's bugzilla, but it present in Ubuntu 12.04. My particular IMAP server does not respond to the 'pings' that Evolution reports making, possibly to keep alive a server connection (I am not sure exactly what type of pings these are). Evolution sits there waiting for the ping to complete, but since my server doesn't respond, all of Evolution's actions are queued up behind this unresponsive event. Makes use of Evolution very slow/frustrating. Evolution needs to provide a way to shorten the timeout or disable this ping activity.
