alpine 1.10: loop in "fetching folder data"

I was trying to create maildrops linux as I did in pc-alpine; did it
by just editing the pinerc file & did it incorrectly; so much for trying
to do a "quicky" using the info from pc-pine.

When trying to open the "inbox" or nickname, the msg says "fetching
folder data" continously for several minutes; I had to go to another
terminal session to kill alpine.

Think more info could be posted, but I've tried different ways of creating
the collection & folders (guess the wrong ways) & the results are the same,
a terminal locking loop by alpine.

I have created my main maildrop folder correctly & all is well there; however
my secondary account is a problem even if the line refering to it is the
same as in pc-pine; that's another problem for me as saw something about
running kinit for the remote mail site.

The alpine I'm using came with the opensuse 11.0; so will try to compile
from the source & see if same problem.

Please post the two .pinerc lines referring to the maildrops.

Here goes, the lines are longer than 80 & don't know why the diff in
pc-alpine & linux in placement:

windows version:

main:
# Path of (local or remote) INBOX, e.g. ={mail.somewhere.edu}inbox
# Normal Unix default is the local INBOX (usually /usr/spool/mail/$USER).
inbox-path=#move {mail.xxxxx.bbb/user=me/pop3}inbox mailspool\maildrop

2nd:
# List of incoming msg folders besides INBOX, e.g. ={host2}inbox, {host3}inbox
# Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-host-name}folder-path
incoming-folders=nickname "#move {pop3.yyyyyyy.zzzz.aaa/user=metoo/pop3/NoValidate-Cert}inbox mailspool\\2nddrop"



linux version:

incoming-folders=comcast "#move {mail.xxxxx.bbb/user=me/pop3}inbox /var/spool/mail/maildrop",
nickname "#move {pop3.yyyyyyy.zzzz.aaa/user=metoo/pop3/NoValidate-Cert}inbox /var/spool/mail/2nddrop"


With the current linux .pinerc, I get the kerberos problem so am still
to compile it without kerberos implementation; no luck as cannot find
Terminfo/term......
