    Shawn:
    
    I cannot reproduce this error.  I ran through the same steps as you
    detailed below and PINE seemed aok.
    
    My SMTP and IMAP server is HP OpenMail ESMTP running on HP-UX 11i.
    I am running PINE 4.33 on Solaris 8.

    I am not sure if this is a known issue but here goes:
    
    By sending a small message by directly telnetting to port 25 and doing the
    following I was able to crash Pine:
    
    (someone@somehost) ~ > telnet some.mail.server 25
    Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
    Connected to some.mail.server.
    Escape character is '^]'.

    this is a test to see if it crashes pine...

    221 Unauthorized use prohibited.
    Connection closed by foreign host.
    
    
    The SMTP server above is Solaris 7 running qmail.
    IMAP server is OpenBSD 2.8 running qmail and courier imap.
    Client is Pine 4.33 on OpenBSD 2.8.
    
    Pine brings down the message but since it has no header info, it is left
    blank in the message index. Then when you try to select any message, it
    gives: MAIL FOLDER "INBOX" CLOSED DUE TO ACCESS ERROR. Exiting pine and
    restarting was a no go as well.
    
    The only way to get Pine running again was by actually entering the
    Maildir and deleting the message manually.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Shawn
