Well, I am trying to open alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.dance in alpine. Yes it
crashes with the following:
[Opening "alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.dance" ... ]
Problem detected: "Bad msgno 1000001 in mail_elt, nmsgs = 1000000,

Back again live, in looking over that crash log, it mentions
08:36:53.303884: IMAP 08:36:53 10/10 mm_log error: Mailbox has more messages
(1819586) exist than maximum (1000000)
08:36:53.303896: q_status_message(Folder has more messages (1819586) exist
than maximum (1000000))
Back again live, so are their either an article number limit or total number
of articles in a group limit? And more importantly, can I get around these?
Thanks so much in advance

I would try changing the value of MAXMESSAGES in imap/src/c-client/mail.h
line 47:
grep -3n MAXMESSAGES /home/src/redhat/BUILD/alpine-2.26/imap/src/c-client/mail.h
44- * so this is actually len+1. */
45-#define MAXAUTHENTICATORS 8 /* maximum number of SASL authenticators */
46- /* maximum number of messages */
47:#define MAXMESSAGES (unsigned long) 1000000
48-#define MAXLOGINTRIALS 3 /* maximum number of client login attempts */
49-#define MAXWILDCARDS 10 /* maximum wildcards allowed in
LIST/LSUB */
