I've seen this issue before on macOS. Specifically it happens if your
hostname has a dot. Here's an example program showing how long this can
take. https://gist.github.com/keith/86642ac3f695841b17906732c803fda3
I _believe_ I fixed this with:
`sudo scutil --set HostName name-without-dot`

My guess is that mutt automatically checks some machine or network
configuration and wait 5 seconds for time out before starting. Does
mutt do such things? How can I learn about them?
In 1.6.0, mutt was changed to determine the fully-qualified hostname
at startup using gethostname() and getaddrinfo(). The delay could be
if DNS isn't configured correctly.
On Linux, a workaround is to add an entry to /etc/hosts:
127.0.1.1 myhost.mydomain myhost
I'm not sure how the equivalent is done on MacOS.
