Subject: Problems with IMAPd ??

I just compiled pine (3.89) for my HP/UX 700.
I also ported IMAPd to an Apollo DomainOS system (that's where the mail is).

Pine seems to run fine (despite these messages) but I keep getting 

   [IMAP error: Command unrecognized: FETCH]
   [Command unrecognized: FETCH]

When I type 'D' to delete a message, or 'U' to undelete a message, I get:

   [IMAP error: Command unrecognized: -FLAGS]
   [Command unrecognized: -FLAGS]

I can read my mail and it would appear that I can do everything else
(reply ,forward, etc) without a problem, other than the fact you keep
getting those annoying messages about every 5 to 15 seconds.

Any idea as to what is wrong?

Is there a FAQ for PINE?

This sounds like a problem with your port of imapd to Applo DomainOS. 
FETCH is certainly a valid command in the IMAP protocol, although this
error message can also happen if there are no arguments after the FETCH
command due to an oddity in imapd's parser.

Another possibility may be your HP/UX port.  Did you modify Pine, and in
particular, the c-client/imap2.c or c-client/tcp_unix.c files, in any way? 
These error mesages can happen if spurious newlines were being inserted 
in the IMAP protocol stream.

I suggest that you review all modifications made to the sources.  Also, 
the current version of Pine is Pine 3.91.

The Pine FAQ is on pine/docs on the ftp.cac.washington.edu anonymous FTP 
server.
