IMAP Connection Stalls Durring Sort

Hello All,

Has anyone else encountered this behavior?  Sometimes, when opening an 
IMAP mail folder, the IMAP connection will simply stall out.  I get the "[ 
Sorting (spin) ]" twirling progress meter at first and then 15 sec updates 
on the cumulative wait time ([Waited 45 sec for server...]), but the 
operation stalls indefinitely.  I've waited several minutes, but it never 
completes.  It happens for my INBOX, but also some other incoming message 
folders where mail gets filtered before I can read it.  Once I happens, I 
can reproduce the error by quitting and starting pine, again.  But, I can 
fix the problem by using a different client (SquirrelMail) to open the IMAP 
folder, quitting that. and then pine works just fine.

We're using pine 4.62 on Solaris 5.9 and Sun (Java) Messaging Server 6 
(2005Q1, I think).  I've attached a debug session using a high debug 
level.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Paul DeStefano

P.S.  Ironically, I postponed this message after attaching my debug file 
and, when I went to retrieve it from the postponed-msgs folder, it happened 
there, too, but with out the sorting operation.  Could this be related to 
large messages?  I've notice considerable delays with multi-megabyte 
files, before, but I thought they eventually load okay...maybe they don't.
