Hi,

  I have installed pine 4.05 on solaris 2.6.  I have created a
/usr/local/lib/pine.conf file with only user-domain and inbox-path
defined. 
  The setting for incoming-startup-rule was default which should be
first-unseen.  However all users get the first message with this option.
Even when it is explicitly set to first-unseen the first message appears.
  Why can't I get cursor to go to the first unseen message.

TIA,
Mark

I had this prohblem too. It is caused by a backdated IMAP4 server.
Install the latest version and this bug will vanish...!
