I have this in .emacs -- wouldn't it help?

(setq elmo-network-session-idle-timeout 300)

C-g is worth a shot, will try if I see that problem again. I'm not sure it will always help, e.g., just now I tried to set a flag on a message with a large attachment. It then started to download the whole attachment (when I opened the message at first, I said 'n' to fetch the whole thing). So I hit C-g and tried to go to another message -- whereupon the mini buffer showed the highly amusing status of "Retrieving... 79432%" -- C-g didn't actually cancel the attachment download. But at least C-g might let me quit Emacs gracefully rather than killing it.

Thanks for all the advice!
James
