I found a situation where mutt can sometimes forget about its
connections: when using smtp to send email. Apparently during
transmission, mutt forgets about $imap_timeout (or any of the other
ones). Thus, if my IMAP server disconnects people who are idle for 10
minutes and it takes 11 minutes to send a long email (e.g. an
attachment over a slow modem), mutt will be disconnected.
This wouldn't be as *much* of a problem if mutt didn't insist on
crashing every time it reconnects after having been disconnected (it
crashes while displaying "Sorting mailbox..."), but that's one I
haven't spent the time to isolate yet.
