We have always had a problem with IMAP being very slow via modem.  We have
had the problem with Embla and PC Pine.  Does anyone know of a way to speed
up IMAP via modem?  I'm running IMAPbeta4.1 and AIX 4.2.  Thanks.

Pine is first trying "rsh", which can take a while. To disable it, 
change the inbox-path to {imap.server.yourplace.edu:143}inbox

Alternatively, you could enable it properly by allowing rsh access 
from known machines to the rimapd program. That way people don't need 
to use passwords each time they log in to the mail server.
