----------------------+---------------------
I'm having an issue again with Mutt (1.8.2) hanging on my Deleted Items
(i.e., trash) folder. Usually, it will open, up to a certain size, and
then I start having problems opening it -- not sure if it's a specific
type of message (or a malformed) that causes an issue or what, but it
would be nice to be able to abort the operation, and would also be nice to
have it handle the condition more gracefully. I had hoped that some of the
bugfixes in recent versions would have resolved this issue, but apparently
not. It seems to finish fetching, so maybe there's an off-by-one type
issue?

With some problems, clearing out the cache seems to help, however with
this, only deleting my Exchange deleted folder seems to help. I can't
figure out a way to abort the operation either (^G, ^C, etc. don't work),
but have to suspend and kill Mutt.
This is with lmdb, but have tried other db libraries in the past and had
similar problems. It seems to be reproducible with header cache disabled
too.
I recompiled with debug and ran with -d3. I snipped a big section where
it's just fetching a ton of messages (I put in [....] in that section). If
someone needs the full debug session, I can provide it to you separately.
I tried running under dtruss, however, getting some errors with that for
some reason.
