 Currently there's no way to interrupt, though IIRC there's a enhancement

Thank Rocco and Kyle for prompt response. 
Some email contains attachment of size around 3 to 6 MB. Actually I
had downloaded them but apparently the local cache doesn't work.  
FWIW I use gmail imap.

So the hang is actually expected? What did you try to make the
local cache work? It should be just setting $message_cachedir should do.

how to interrupt

2008-08-26 Thread bill lam
Hi All,
Sometime mutt hangs or waits for a long time during downloading or
uploading mail.  Is there any method to interrupt other than killall?

There's no way to interrupt that doesn't kill mutt; but you have a few 
options:

1. control-\ (in most terminals, this sends a SIGKILL)
2. use kill (using killall is not very precise)

You can also reduce the length of time that mutt will wait for 
connection timeouts (modify $connect_timeout).
