        Hi,
is the evolution-data-server also 3.12.11? It doesn't look like that 
to me. The commit you cited (can be seen colored also here [2]) turns 
off the connection timeout when the IMAPx runs IDLE and turns it back 
on, if there was any value. If that doesn't work, then maybe it's a 
GLib issue, even it's unlikely. The timeout itself reminded me of [3].

Do you use multiple concurrent connections for that IMAP account? It's 
shown in Receiving Options in account Properties.

        Bye,
        Milan
