Hi Antonio,
Even after using 1.5.20, nothing has changed for me. I have uploaded
the debug logs with -d3 option at
http://mkatiyar.110mb.com/muttdebug0_1.5.20.tar.gz . After reading all
the headers it fails with "Error opening mailbox" and if I retry it
again downloads all the headers.
I also got below response from mutt-users mailling list by Kyle.
=============================================
For whatever reason, Gmail doesn't like it when people attempt to pull
down lots of headers (which is precisely what mutt does). So, after a
certain number (I don't know how many), it simply refuses to continue
and sends a response saying, essentially, "your command has failed".
Now, mutt can handle this several different ways. The way mutt
currently handles it is by assuming that failed commands cannot be
trusted even a little bit, so any headers transferred by the failed
command are considered "unlikely to be accurate", and are thus
ignored.
I think you can make a valid argument that this isn't good behavior on
mutt's part (as such, take it up with mutt-dev), but it seems to me
that this is simply an attempt to work around yet more gmail IMAP
idiocy (see the list archives for all the various issues people have
with gmail's truly awful IMAP implementation).

Looks like mutt & gmail don't go well together :-( , and my chances of
using mutt are fading away.
