I don't think so: I'm assuming Web Alpine is the same version number  
as Alpine itself... ie, 1.00.  I think I've read somewhere they've  
been using Web Alpine at UW for quite some time, so I'm sure  
authentication/mail sending does work!  :-)

I think the problem is more to do with me not yet understanding how  
the configuration files interact.  Now that I've managed to get logged  
in using heavily edited configuration files I'm slowly back out my  
changes to where I went wrong with regard to authentication.  Once  
I've cracked that I'll start fiddling with the Sendmail/SMTP settings  
to see what I've got wrong there.

I'll report back as to Web Alpine's feel/speediness when I've sorted  
these.

Cheers,
Mike B-)
