Do you know what the keepalive period for that server is configured to
be?
Whilst mutt is running commands like editors, it ensures that the IMAP
server gets a keepalive every $imap_keepalive seconds, which defaults to
900 (15 minutes).
If you lower $imap_keepalive to less than the value needed by your
server, then hopefully this solves it. You'll need to knock a few
seconds off the maximum allowed time if your server can be slow to
respond to commands; for safety's sake, if the server requires something
every 300 seconds, set imap_keepalive to 290.
If you're still having problems, then you might want to try current CVS;
Brendan's put a lot of work into improving the IMAP handling recently.
