This is Alpine complaining that it lost its connection to the
server?

To try to help debugging the problem, it'd be useful to know

- - where Alpine is running: on the remote server? On your home
  machine?

- - how is Alpine connected to "its" server? POP? imap?

- - where is this server? Is it your provider's server? Is it
  on your machine?
