Hi All: This problem is becoming much worse. Over the last 20years
there are

run a debug. Well, among several inbox closings last night-and-this
morning,
there is a line which says
IMAP 07:16:21 10/8 mm_log error: [CLOSED] IMAP connection lost
Also, at times my Wife on a windows11 with Alpine through Ubuntu has a
similar
issue, but she is on Panix. I asked Fastmail, they say its an Alpine
issue.
When this happens, I can still see an index of messages but cannot
read the

the
frequency this is happening, this morning maybe 3times in half-and-
hour. #2 I
have a large inbox-and-use an aggregate command to mark messages for
deletion,
but after an inbox is closed, those marks are gone. I had my Linux
expert ask
an AI agent about this? It said it was a permissions issue. Please, I
welcome
any helpful suggestions in how to fix this or maybe switch away from
IMAP. O,
I am in TCSH Debian SID. Thanks so much in advance

Try subscribing to, and, posting to, the alpine (previously known as
pine) mailing list at
http://mailman23.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/alpine-info
I believe that you should find it quite helpful - the subscribers and
active people include the current person responsible for the alpine
(which superseded pine) email application.
Out of interest, as a person who has used alpine since it superseded
pine, and, before that, pine, since before the Internet, and, having
(too) frequently encountered the particular error, I believe that the
problem is neither a Debian OS problem, nor a pine/alpine problem, but,
is a problem with the hosting mailserver.
For further information from me, relating to this issue, I am willing to
further discuss it on the alpine mailing list, where the discussion
belongs, but, not on this mailing list, as the problem has nothing to do
with the Debian operating system.
