Thanks for your comments and advice! In the meantime, I to made some progress.
As that thread was apparently sleeping in libsoup. I replaced my stock 2.31.92 libsoup with a fresh 2.33.90 version. It appears to be MUCH better or maybe even flawless now. Also one of the intermediate CHANGES file for libsoup says: Changes in libsoup from 2.32.1 to 2.32.2: * Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused evolution-exchange to get stuck and stop updating. [#634422] See also: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634422 --- This may be important for quite a few people, as libsoup 2.31.92 is the latest version in Ubuntu 10.10!
