WITH_MUTT_HTML and WITH_MUTT_SSL. In addition I have explicitly disabled
IDN support although I have ${LOCALBASE}/lib/libidn.so on my system but
that is subject for another thread.

No, but 1.5.11 works just fine without caching

This is what I discovered:

I have imap server listeing on SSL (993) and on plain (143) ports on
host `pop'.

In muttrc:
mailboxes imaps://vd:__secret__@pop/freebsd-ports
mailboxes imap://vd:__secret__@pop/freebsd-ports

When I connect to the first one the problem mentioned above exists.

When I connect to the second one, although it is plain the server and
mutt negotiate TLS connection:

...
CAPA
OK..CAPA..TOP..UIDL..RESP-CODES..PIPELINING..STLS..USER..SASL.PLAIN
STLS
OK.Begin.TLS.negotiation.now
...

and the communication is encrypted again _but the problem is gone_

If I disable SSL support on the server side (so it does not give
CAPA STLS) the connection in plaintext and the problem is not present.

Happy vacation!

Testing can show the presence of bugs, but not their absence.
