Mutt performs a DNS lookup using gethostname() and getaddrinfo() to try to find out the host's FQDN. If you are hanging, it could be this is not configured correctly. Adding a line to /etc/hosts with a FQDN may help: 127.0.1.1 rotor.yourdomain rotor See also https://muttmua.gitlab.io/mutt/manual-dev.html#hostname although setting that does not change the startup behavior because the muttrc is processed afterwards. -- Kevin J.
