That is the problem, then. Many of us use fetchmail (or similar) to handle the imap or pop3, then procmail to sort into multiple mailboxes, if that is also desired. Either way, there is no freezing of mutt. fetchmail - SSL enabled POP3, APOP, IMAP mail gatherer/forwarder fetchmailconf - fetchmail configurator The latter is helpful when getting started. Note: fetchmail normally delivers via SMTP to port 25 on the machine it is running on (localhost), or if no port 25 listener is available, but your fetchmail configuration was told about a reliable local MDA, it will use that MDA for local delivery instead. > But mutt will freeze when the network is off.
