I think I've found a bug in fetchmail: while retrieving messages with
certain headers, it hangs. Unusually enough, it only does so when SSL
is enabled. Disabling SSL or changing the headers (by editing the
message on the IMAP server with Mutt)[0] eliminates the lockup.

Even though you don't reproduce the problem with mutt, so it may indeed
be a fetchmail issue:

Can you check (with netstat or lsof) if the actual connection to the
server is still in "ESTABLISHED" state? I fixed SSL related bugs
(infinite loop stuff) some patchlevels ago, and the fixes cured MY
problem.

The other interesting thing might be what commands mutt or fetchmail use
to pull the mail from the server. Only if they send the same command
sequence, we can be confident it's not a server bug for now.
