Don't know why you see that IMAP thing, you should probably look into your
configuration.
If you sort out that IMAP thing, you will still get an error saying that
pine can not lock your mailbox. This is because your mail spool
'directory' is not writable by all. In most distributions it's owned by
root and writable by him.
Solution: as suggested in the pine faq, change the permissions of the
spool dir to 1777.
cd /var/spool
chmod 1777 mail
Of course you have to be root for that.
