Yes. Sometimes quickly. Sometimes after more than 30 seconds or so.

I have not tried suspending. I will next time.

Idling only. And only on the index screen. I use vim as both pager and
composer, so maybe that means something. In fact, I have accidently
left a partially composed mail open for many hours, and mutt is always
functional once I close out the vim/compose aspect.

I wouldn't think so either. I guess I could dig into that a little
more. This is the same system (hardware + software) that worked
flawlessly until the new router. The router thing might be
co-incidence and a red-herring, but that is when the problem started.
Thanks.
