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?
