I had the same problem and I changed these lines in my pinerc file.
The folder colloection line I added 143 (the port that most imap servers
run on). Then changed the rsh timeout to 0 (pine tries to connect via rsh
first). after that I haven't noticed any lag.

folder-collections=/user/j/jamallen/mail/[],
        BARBZ {imap2.asu.edu:143/user=mattt}INBOX.[]

rsh-open-timeout=0

I'd definitely settle for being able to use other applications while
PCpine works. Unix users should already be able to do this by hopping to
another window. (Notice I'm assuming everyone uses X. This is probably a
faulty assumption, but there you go :)

I tried this and saw no difference. Maybe it depends on your local network
setup?

I think that "Kanipso" failed to realize that you were using PCPine.
At least, I don't believe that PC's use "rsh" to do anything, not unless
you've set up some funky cygwin32-opennt thing.

I agree that it sucks that you can't do anything else while it is connecting,
but I'm no crack dos/windoze programmer so I can't help you much.   Run
Linux?  :-)
