[Alpine-info] rhs timeout issue?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi folks,
One issue being encountered with the  inbox of our staff member while 
using alpine is an error referencing rhs.
dreamhost states that alpine has a setting where it first checks for this 
type of inbox before the imap one.  Or at least that it tries to 
communicate with  the imap server by using rhs first.
If this is true, where in the settings can I prevent alpine from  taking 
this step?
fills the screen with odd characters, which cannot be paused from my 
adaptive technology standpoint.
Thanks,
Karen
