Subject: problems with Solaris 2.5 port

Hi;

I just brought up pine3.92 on a system that has never ran pine before, and
it catches an error almost immediately.

The indications are:
an e-mail comes into the system
Pine sees it and tells me that I have new mail
I read the message and delete it, but do not exit pine
a few minutes later, I get the message "unexpected changes to mailbox (try
restarting)" and can no longer see whats in my inbox
quit and restart pine and all seems well until the next message

I have compared the mail files before and after one of these failures and
see that the mail is being changed. A line is added after I read the mail
that read "Status:RO" and another that reads "X-UIDL: 828398816.000", (I
believe that the numeric portion of the last message changes).

Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.....

Thanks

	Sounds like you have another process accessing your mailbox.

	The X-UIDL header would seem to indicate that it is some type of
POP3 process.  Do you have a PC on the network checking for new mail?

	I run pine on Solaris 2.5 under CDE.  When email comes in I first
get a visual indication from CDE (Common DestTop Environment).  When the
time comes for pine to check for new mail I get the pine audio indication
and the CDE visual indication is reset.

	Regards,
