From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-DE; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: mutt -f imaps://user@mailserver results in a prompt asking whether I accept the certificate, and prompting for username and password. Entering a wrong password results in a SASL Authentication failure as expected Entering the correct passwords freezes mutt. It doesn't respond to anything - not even to Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Z. The connection can successfully established from our solaris client. It's not the mailservers fault, since it perfectly works with other mailclients. I haven't configured any firewall. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mutt-1.4.1-10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.connect to an imaps server (with ssl) 2.enter your correct password 3.wait for years - nothing will happen Actual Results: mutt freezes Expected Results: mutt should load the headers Additional info:
Can you get a strace?

Hm, so it's hanging reading from the server socket. What sort of imap server?
By applying the settings from this homepage, it worked fine, I don't know, what caused the behaviour I experienced before, but it's working now! Thanks! https://mailbox.informatik.uni-bonn.de/mutt.html
