Hi,
I have a problem with opening the inbox. When pine is started it takes 
ages to open my local inbox. Also when teh inbox is empty. Can anybody 
help me?

I guess this depends on where your INBOX gets its mail from. I connect
to an IMAP server via modem, and I also have a long wait; but thats the
dial-in process that takes its time to open the mailbox at the IMAP
server. Once I am connected, if I close pine and reopen it later,
the INBOX is there very quickly.

Sounds like a you are using rsh to connect to your server. Edit your
.pinerc and make sure that you set

rsh-open-timeout=0
