The messages were deleted from /var/spool/mail/user as far as I could tell
they were put nowhere else. I hadn't done enough fine tuning of the pine
configuration file for that. It's possible something verizon.net
installed on the home network may have got a little too hyperactive though
tooo.

Define "lost". Were they deleted from /var/spool/mail/$user entirely, or
did pine put them in a different directory?
A little earlier today I lost something on the order of 15,000 messages
after having initially viewed them with a new build of pine. There's
likely some serious instability going on somewhere. I had used fetchmail
to download messages and exim was used to post what i have to the
internet. Si
