[Dovecot] mutt freezes
Hi
Sometimes mutt freezes saying "Closing connection to imap.impa.br...".
Any clue?
Thanks Manoel

I get that sometimes and in my case it is always due to a network problem, one of:
- I've just rebooted the server without disconnecting my client [1]
- My netbook has just come out of hibernation and the wifi hasn't connected yet
It takes a good while to recover after this, which I assume is a Mutt issue, but since it is always self inflicted I've not investigated further.
Could be worth checking your network connectivity at the time of the problem starting (it could have recovered quite quickly and no longer be an issue though). I've not checked, but there may be something in the Mutt configuration to improve its handling of a lost connection perhaps.

Last week, I upgraded dovecot. The problem did not occur with the earlier version:
