I'm not real familiar with X programming, so this is liable to be real simple:

I'm trying to compile xmail on a Sun SPARC 1 running SunOS 4.0.3, soon to 
upgrade to 4.1.  However, I can compile xmail fine, but when I run it, it
does not quite work like I thought.  If their is no mail waiting, nothing is
wrong.  However if mail is waiting, or I try to look at any new mail that 
comes in while I am using xmail, the message 'Establishing Connections' comes
up in the middle bar and then xmail hangs.  I'm running it under X11R4 with 
all of the patches (1-14).  

Am I just missing something obvious, or what?  Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
