Subject: IMAP problem with pc-pine

My provider is completely ignorant of IMAP.  I need to present 
them with ideas for debugging my problem. 
 
I can access my INBOX without any problem.  I can't, however, 
access any of my remote mailboxes.  I can't save to them or read 
mail in them.  I get a pine message which repeats every 15 seconds. 
 
  [Waited xx seconds for server rely.  Still waiting...] 
 
After I break contact, I see that a *.lock file was created remotely. 
 
Where do I start? 
 
John.

Hi,

I am having a similar problem here myself. I actually traced this 
connection with some fairly terse IP trace tools and found that the PC 
does not try to authenticate under the IMAP protocol. I checked that the 
imap server  was running on the host with the mtest program and it all 
worked fine. At the moment, I can't proceed until I find why PC Pine does 
not proceed after it receives the initial IMAP greeting message from the 
server.

By copy to the pine guys:

Can you give us some hints how we can debug this problem?

regards,
Ben

I send mail there.. it gets bounced back... help
