Today, after working for years, my IMAP connection to Dreamhost has

Sure looks like Dreamhost had a problem. (Does it work now?)
Unrelated, I noticed something in your configuration:
set spoolfile="{arenson\@spatzel....@imap.dreamhost.com/ssl}INBOX"
I believe that's unnecessary, and kind of wrong. That variable
spoolfile is for incoming mail delivered into local files on the
computer where Mutt runs (eg, /var/mail/freduser, or
~freduser/Maildir). IMAP is entirely different, and doesn't use that.
I think you can just remove that, and not set the variable spoolfile.
