Subject: VERY! long sorting of folders

Hi, all!

I already posted it, but it is getting really bad. I wasn't able for one
week to look into my post. When I tried to do it, I had (for example) one
folder with 99 messages (nice value) and other (pine-info! surprise) with
250 and some. 

It took 2 minutes 24 seconds to sort first and over 10 minutes the second!!!

I have PC Pine 3.91 for Windows with all folders remote - direct on LAN
(mailhost is 1m from PC). I OFTEN am off somwhere for one-two weeks. I
try to distribute the mail as much as possible.  But still I have at
times such sutuation with grown folders. 

ELM opens such folder at once; even Pine on Unix (without IMAP) makes it 
VERY fast. So it seems to be the problem of PC Pine.

It makes it impossible to use Pine for News-reading. I have 1.5KB/s 
link, and have to wait one hour befor Pine sorts some news-group.

I hope VERY MUCH that it will be changed in next version. It is a pity 
to see such a (bug?) in otherwise excellent program

regards

Have you tried Unix pine with imap? If this is OK, PC pine is the problem.
I've seen exactly the same thing as you.

Yes, done. (On the same host, but it shouldn't make any difference). It 
works excellent. So it seems to be the PC Pine version problem.

In hope, that it will ever be fixed :-)
