Subject: PC-NFS Pine--"host not found"

I'm trying to set up PC-PINE with PC-NFS 5.1a (I've also tried with
version 5.0 and some patches).  The 5.1a PCs are using DNS; the 5.0
machine uses NIS (but it'll be upgraded soon).

I set up the inbox-path and folder-collections configuration variables
with {myhost}INBOX and {myhost}mail/[] respectively.  "myhost" is
running imapd on tcp port 143, and I can telnet to that port from the
PCs.  And the telnet leaves me with a syslog message, because I have
tcp_wrappers between imapd and the naked port.

But when I run PC-PINE, I invariably get "[Host not found: myhost]."
And no record of a connection in syslog on "myhost."

"myhost" is listed in \nfs\hosts, the NIS hosts map, and the DNS.

I've got over 500K free memory.  I've tried it with and without RTM
loaded (but free memory drops dramatically with RTM).

Back in October, I had it working!  But I can't figure out what's
changed now that I've picked it up again.

Anyone have a solution?

I have never been able to get this working (even using the IP address
of the IMAP server instead of a host name). I have spoken to several
other people who have also never been able to get it working. I
have not heard from a single person who -does- have it working. If
you figure it out, please post; it will be a public service.
