I have two questions about using pine 4.02/4.02a and IMAP (FreeBSD
3.0-current as of June 1 1998):
(1) Do most people use the imapd from the mail/imap-uw port, or the
one that is part of the mail/pine4 port, or something else?
(2) I'm using the imap-uw port (4.2) and pine (4.02 and 4.02a). When I
start pine, I get the "busy spinner" [Opening "INBOX" <-> ] which sits
there for about 10 seconds before it prompts me for login/password.
I also get this delay whenever I open a new folder.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any theories as to what the
delay could be caused by? It isn't resolution of the IMAP host or port;
"telnet host imap4" returns immediately.
The pine debugging output shows (I had set the host to 127.0.0.1 to
eliminate that as a cause):

-------debug output-------
Presumably, the alarm_signal() calls are what wakes the spinner up
to print another character. But even at debug level 9, there isn't
enough information here to tell what it's trying to do while it sleeps.
Clearly it's before it connects to imapd, though.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
