 {{{
 I use mutt with an IMAP server (imap.crustytoothpaste.net, running
 Dovecot).  My IMAP connection is always encrypted.  I'm running mutt on
 my laptop, so often I forget to quit mutt before I put the lid down.
 When I resume my laptop, I am often at another location with a different
 IP address.  When I hit . to refresh the buffer list or pretty much
 anything else, mutt becomes unresponsive and I cannot do anything, even
 quit, for some amount of time (probably until the network times out).
 Even Ctrl-C doesn't work.  I'm forced to wait or use Ctrl-\.

 I'd really appreciate it if mutt could be more responsive in this case.
 I would prefer if it would detect that the network address had changed
 or even that the connection it once had does not exist anymore.  I would
 even be satisfied if I could just quit and restart mutt (even if I had
 to interrupt it with Ctrl-C to make it responsive again).
