Not surprising, as both the RFC for IMAP and Pine are creations of the
same person (Mark Crispin, RIP).  Both have evolved considerably, though,
but as a regular user of (al)pine, I get by just fine.

It's sort of like Emacs -- lots of cryptic keypresses, but once you
amortize the time to learn them, you can mulch through mail fairly
quickly.
