But I don't know the answer.

Anyone else know what to do about the "message to save shrank" error in
Pine 4?

This error usually indicates a problem with the IMAP server.
Early versions of Exchange with IMAP support were known offenders.

POP for incoming mail, and it seems to happen when a new message arrives
while PINE is getting the mail that's already in the inbox.
