evolution is (occasionally) stuck fetching emails

[nZain]

Binary package hint: evolution

From time to time evolution gets stuck fetching my emails (see attached screenshot). This morning I opened evolution and while fetching emails from my gmail account worked fine, this time my university account didn't finish. This is an SSL setup via imap.uni-wuerzburg.de:993, which worked fine before (e.g. yesterday :).

While reporting this bug, the fetching finished (was cancled? didn't press any button), but the "updating folders" process remains. A few minitues later, it says "saving inbox". It seems the connection is insanely slow? However, thunderbird works fine. Now its fetching mails, again (check-for-emails interval already over) - but also stil saving the inbox. I didn't get my emails, though... (checked via the web interface)

I've seen several such bugs in evolution (on my computers and also launchpad). If you want me to aquire a backtrace, just delete this bug, as I don't have the time for this. Good practice in such scenarios is a timeout and informative error/debug messages to the user/log without debug packages.
