Dear Beartooth,

I recommend that you cancel your FastMail.FM account and 
uninstall Mulberry. Also, I am giving up on the Pine "Mergery" 
project. From now on, please post your IMAP and Pine questions 
in the relevant IMAP and Pine discussion groups.

I'm sorry that this did not work out, but I am no longer will to 
try to drag you into the IMAP world.
