IPv4 during IMAP

[Adam H. Kerman]

I'm getting very long timeouts during IMAP while submitting credentials.
The host I'm using has a weird issue in which the server farm took away
fixed IPv6 addresses as it's changed to a model catering to people who
establishing and taking down virtual hosts and get temporary IPv6
addresses. The host I'm on isn't temporary; this is a lousy model for
us. The system administrator wants to communicate via IPv4 only to rule
out that possibility; he still has two fixed IPv4 addresses.

I don't understand the benefit of that model for other people.

Is there a command I can give that would use IPv4 for IMAP only or IPv4
throughout all aspects of the alpine session?

Not to my knowledge. The way to do this is by recompiling alpine and
during the make process use the command

make IP6=4
