Hello Casper,

please retry with 6.3.2 which has several dozen bugfixes over 6.2.5
including fixes for parsing untagged responses and timeout bugs (I'm not
sure if this particular was addressed; it was not attacked explicitly,
but it may profit from a related fix).

If the problem persists, please post to the new fetchmail-users list at
berlios.de as suggested by Rob. If the configuration is unchanged from
6.2.5, you don't need to re-post it. If it still hangs, a backtrace with
the new code might be useful though.

Thank you,
