Having intermittent trouble with mutt 2.2.12 on debian stable. It uses an imap server (dovecot) over a wireguard VPN. When my laptop resumes from suspend, a few seconds elapse before the VPN becomes available and mutt usually reconnects automatically.
Sometimes, about one time in 5, it doesn't. In those cases I make mutt reconnect by opening a folder. It's not a grave problem but I'd prefer mutt to try a little harder to reconnect, if that can be done. I'm attaching two extracts from .muttdebug0, running with '-d 2'. reconn-ok.txt shows mutt reconnecting after running my preconnect script. reconn-failed.txt shows mutt failing to reconnect and without running my preconnect script. I obscured one folder name with **** for privacy. Why does mutt sometimes fail to reconnect? Thanks -- Nick Asunción 08:36 PYT ► 21°C ◆ cielo claro ◆ 11Km/h SSE ◆ 66% HR
