Interestingly (to me at least!) is that I rarely encounter a
hang while fetching, although at times it can be terribly
slow--- I fetch via IMAP and just from gmail, and I blame gmail
for this for the most part.

But what I do encounter from time to time is a hang when
sending.  I'll wait, press ctrl-g, and find the email has been
sent, but control was never returned.  This is with SMTP via
msmtp.  I've never tried to track it down as it isn't frequent
enough to be more than a small nuisance.
