Subject: Can't search that character set

I'm using PC-Pine Version 4.32 running on Windows 98. In my pinerc file I
have the inbox-path defined as:

inbox-path={mail.teleport.com/imap/user=dbradfor}INBOX

I can open my INBOX and read my mail fine. But when I try to do an
aggregate Select (;) pine responds with:

    [Can't search that character set.]

then:

    [Select failed. No messages selected.]

What is up? I searched the pine-info archives for the past year and found
no mention of this problem.

Pine is determining the charset of the text you entered to select and
somehow it does not match what your imap server can search in. Are you
trying to search by From or subject (maybe all text?). Could you tell us
exactly how to reproduce the error you are receiving?

It seems to happen regardless of my search criteria. The only aggregate
command that works is a Select All.

My service provider is (was) Portland, OR based teleport.com. Teleport
supports (supported) IMAP. Teleport was recently bought by onemain.com
(which was soon thereafter bought by Earthlink). Neither onemain.com or
earthlink.net support IMAP.

My inbox-path in my pinerc file reads:

This still works for retrieving E-mail. But since the acquisition of
Teleport by OneMain, I've been getting the [Can't search that character
set.] message. My hunch is they relocated my mail file to a
OneMain/Earthlink non-IMAP server and Teleport's IMAP server is now being
used simply for pass-thru access.
