I use pine and I haven't had this problem.  Are you doing anything
special when this happens, or does this occur when you start the
program?

I suspect you'll find out that your mailbox has gotten corrupted
somehow; this error message sounds very much like the program cannot
make sense of the mailbox it is trying to open.  Is the problem
with the system inbox or with one of your folders?

If the problem with the mailbox is not obvious at first glance and
you run out of other ideas, I would be tempted to see if deleting
the fake email message that pine puts at the front to hold information
used by an IMAP daemon would fix your problem.
