I do CTRL-C all the time and it works fine here. One area where things
can hang is while attempting to read from the IMAP server, as the
underlying imaplib2 doesn't seem to handle or honor CTRL-C. The ui could
have something to do with it, as I usually don't test blinkenlights
extensively. I am happy with TTYUI.

It can only be killed with -9 implies it never exits for you and hangs
somewhere? Or does "only" ctrl-c not work?

Debugging this is a bit tough without further information as it plainly
works here.
