[Alpine-info] Alpine timing out

[Mike Diggins]

I've been running the latest (last) version of PC-Pine for years now at 
work and at home with my configuration stored on an IMAP mail server 
running Communigate Pro. Up until a couple months ago its been flawless. 
My PC-Pine session at work continues to work fine, but a problem has 
appeared at home. It frequently times out reading either longer messages 
or opening Message folders that are large (it varies in severity, 
sometimes working but most of the time not). During the attempt it prompts 
with a "Waited 15 seconds for server reply..still waiting". Then it asks 
if I want to break the connection. It never recovers and that's what I 
have to do.  Sometimes it says my session may not be compatible with TLS 
and that I should disable it, but I'm not sure how to do that. It works 
fine at work though, so I can't see that being the problem.

I switched to Alpine (Windows) at home hoping that would cure it, but the 
exact problem remains. I've had the same error with other computers 
running PC-Pine as well, so it's not specific to my home computer. Around 
the time the problem began, the SSL certificates on the mail server were 
changed from Verisign to a Comodo wild card certificate but if that were 
the issue I would have the same problem at work too. I can't think of 
anything else that's changed that would explain the problem. Anyone have 
any thoughts on this?
