imap_poll_layout was not set in my murttrc file.
If not set, it defaults to 15 seconds.
Setting it to 0, which according to manual should disable it, just made mutt freeze
Setting it to 0 turns off the polling. So Mutt is sending the IDLE/NOOP/STATUS and trying to read the response, without polling the connection first.
If Mutt freezes in that case, then the connection to dovecot has died.
set imap_poll_timeout = 600 made it freeze too, but eventually recovered, and had to reopen the inbox
Setting it to 600 means Mutt will wait 10 minutes for a response from the server before declaring the connection is dead and trying to reconnect. If it then reopened the mailbox, that also means the connection to dovecot died.
Launching mutt with the -d 2 option did not produce anything visible. Where should debug messages appear, btw? In mutt itself, or in some log file? What could I try next?
This flag produces a file ~/.muttdebug0 in your home directory with debugging output, including IMAP commands sent and received.
Perhaps you can compare that and the dovecot log, and see if you can find out why all the "logged out" messages are appearing.
