First: I'm not using hotmail/outlook and have therefore no clue what causes the behaviour you describe. But why are you convinced it is mutt that is the culprit? Could it be simply hotmail? And try to unset imap_passive, it may be worth giving it a try..

I have joined the content of my .muttrc with dummy address and password. I really appreciate any help you can provide. Try setting imap_keepalive? It defaults to 900 seconds, but I found with some servers a much smaller value was required. I currently have mine set to 30. [I've never used Outlook.com, but I have used other servers that would close mailboxes when used with the default value of 900.] From http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html imap_keepalive Type: number Default: 900 This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that mutt will wait before polling open IMAP connections, to prevent the server from closing them before mutt has finished with them. The default is well within the RFC-specified minimum amount of time (30 minutes) before a server is allowed to do this, but in practice the RFC does get violated every now and then. Reduce this number if you find yourself getting disconnected from your IMAP server due to inactivity -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow! Is this TERMINAL fun? at gmail.com

I do not use Outlook.com, but I do connect to an IMAP account. In my case I have a line that says: set smtp_url=smtps://j...@jfniendorf.org@server_name.com/465 I have another line that lists the smtp password: set smtp_pass=dummy_password For the set folder lines I have: set folder=imaps://server_name.com:993 set folder=imaps://server_name.com/INBOX. This is followed by the login and password information: set imap_user=j...@jfniendorf.org set imap_pass=dummy_password -- John
