From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040723 Firefox/0.9.2 Description of problem: Since upgrading to mutt-1.4.1-9, I haven't been able to connect to my IMAP server. More specifically, I'm connecting to the imaps port. The SSL connection goes fine, and mutt prompts me for my password. I enter it, and the status line says "Authenticating (SASL)..." for a really long time. Eventually, this goes away to be replaced with "Selecting inbox...". mutt never gets past this stage. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mutt-1.4.1-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect to an imaps://.../ mailbox from mutt 2. 3. Actual Results: The program stays at "Selecting inbox..." forever. Expected Results: A message list from the inbox. Additional info: Running mutt-1.4.1-8 works fine, as does recompiling mutt-1.4.1-9 with the sasl2 patch disabled. The server is running dovecot 0.99.10.9 on a Debian system.
Please try again with 1.4.1-10, and reopen this bug if you find that it still doesn't work (it should).
The same thing happens to me. mutt-1.4.1-10 from fredora core 3, connecting to a cyrus-imapd-2.1.16 (not fedora). SSL or TLS do not seem to make a difference. If the correct password is given, mutt hangs. If a wrong password is given, the authentication fails correctly, but trying to reopen the inbox (typing 'c', '!' and enter) then segfaults. Bug should be reopened, imho.
