Both the lastest stable (1.5.23-r8) and masked (1.5.24-r1) mail-client/mutt will hang after connecting to an imap server with an encrypted connection. This only happens for the 1.5.24 version if "gnutls" USE flag is set (i.e. I temporarily fixed mine by going with the latest version with "-gnutls"). I'd say this is related to this bug: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3772 I would suggest that Gentoo just remove the gnutls flag until its properly fixed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.package.use = mail-client/mutt imap mbox gpg ssl smime smtp gnutls 2.emerge mutt 3.muttrc = set spoolfile='imaps://imap.isp.com' 4.mutt Actual Results: Hangs while fetching messages. Says something like "0/137" and never moves. Can't Ctrl-C to terminate. The number of remote messages to process is correct so we know it's making a connection. Expected Results: Downloads the messages.

I've masked USE=gnutls per your suggestion, thanks!
