Better late than never :) You seem to actually be the only one that
bothered answering. I appreciate that. That's much, much better than
pine's own maintainers/developers did.
Debian communiy is great!

Yes, potato distribution on the server and, of course, inertia :)
One doesn't upgrade a server (install packages that were not
originally meant for that distribution) unless one _has to_.

No stale imapd processes lying around. Most likely the "SSL taking too

have totally collapsed, lately. Do you know if stunnel performs
better?

I'm in the process of building those packages (ripped from sid) on a
potato box, bu see above.

pine 4.33 does not show that message. Is there another way of deleting
it I'm not aware of?
