 Hi,

 I _think_ I may be seeing this bug or at least something similar.  I use
 mutt to access our imaps server which runs cyrus 2.3.13 (via Kolab on
 Debian).  I'm using the latest Ubuntu-packaged Mutt 1.5.20 (2009-06-14).

 Every now and again, mutt will try to access a folder and just freeze up.
 I end up killing mutt and starting it again.  For some reason (and perhaps
 this sets my problem as different to this), it more often than not happens
 when I try to reopen a postponed mail (my postponed mail is an imap folder
 on the server).  My memory is that this is generally after a long series
 of idleness (possibly after I've been editing a single email for a long
 time so mutt itself hasn't been running, it has spawned vim).

 My imap config is moreorless:

 set imap_user="......"
 set spoolfile=imaps://........./INBOX
 set folder=imaps://....../INBOX
 set mail_check=60
 set record="=sent-mail/`date +%Y/%m`"
 set header_cache=.mutt/cache
 set postponed="=postponed"  # folder for postponed messages
 set imap_keepalive=60

 Is there something I should do to help sort this out?  Should I run with
 -D and wait for the output?  Should I try and get it to dump a core?

 Gavin
