I strongly suggest using mail/imap-uw for the POP/IMAP daemons and mail/pine* for the Pine MUAs !

Just a suggestion / wild guess: search & check for locks, stale locks might be a cause (although some sort of error message should pop up) -- /tmp/ might be one target. I'll try to simulate your situation whenever I'll find some spare time -- does someone else have any reports on this ? > > Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! > > -- > Brent J.
