Mainly just FYI at this point, unless anyone else has any more concrete ideas than I do.

However, the hangs mostly seem to be after Balsa finished downloading a message (often the last downloaded line in the DEBUG is a '.') so I'm now wondering if the hang might be caused by checking gpg signatures - and like magic, I have had this issue in the past, and there was a thread in February about it. You provided some notes on checking gpg configuration, which I'll have to read and follow up on again. I have 504 "pub" keys (from "gpg -k") and I wouldn't consider that a particularly large keyring - or am I wrong? (Browsing through the list of keys, I suspect most got there by due to messages from various mailing lists.) However, two more questions: First, as I said in February, why would this check (or whatever is currently happening) completely block all Balsa activity? Second, in my Inbox, I do have "Decrypt and check signatures automatically" set to "Never" so it's obviously not exactly the same problem I was having back them. Anyway - I've updated several bits of my gpg configuration, and I know I've got lots to go, but even if I'm imagining it, I seem to be having less of the hangs, but not totally gone yet.
