I Never saw this one before. It is only from one email source on one
server, yet with each message they send. All other messages &
servers fine, everything else works! I can view the message on the
IMAP server, but not Save it to a local folder. I can Forward it to
another server, then it can be saved to a local folder!

Pinecrsh file is over 190K. Pinedebg file 29K.

Any quick thoughts?

There is a feature called quell-ssl-largeblocks that addresses this. In
alpine it is called "Prevent SSL Largeblocks". The help text in alpine
says

FEATURE: Prevent SSL Largeblocks

PC-Alpine only.

This feature changes the behavior of fetching messages and
attachments so that the message data is fetched in chunks no larger
than 12K bytes. This works around a bug in Microsoft's SSL/TLS
support. Some versions of Microsoft SSL are not able to read
full-sized (16K) SSL/TLS packets. Some servers will send such packets
and this will cause PC-Alpine to crash with the error

incomplete SecBuffer exceeds maximum buffer size

Microsoft is aware of the problem and has developed a hotfix for it,
it is discussed in article 300562 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

So effectively I must be accessing a Microshaft server, like an
Exchange setup?

OK, I found the PC-Pine quell-ssl-largeblocks option in setup-config
& engaged that for a try.

I will tag the server folks & see what they know & can do about it
too. I do appreciate the pointer - Thanks!
