5MB is not particularly large. Your IMAP server is a three-year-old development version of UW imapd; although it is old and not the release version it should not by itself be the cause of the problem.
Please reproduce the problem, exit PC Pine, then copy the PINEDEBG.TXT file (probably written on the directory where PC Pine is installed) to some other name. Then send that file to us at pine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with as much other information as you can produce.
Unfortunately, your message does not give us enough detail to make an intelligent initial diagnosis of the problem.
I guess that the error message you received was either
Server zero-length literal error
or
Append of zero-length message
since those are the only two messages contain "zero length" in either Pine or UW imapd. However, neither of these messages are plausible; there is probably some other problem going on.

recently, I encountered the following situation: I tried to open my mailbox (through IMAP) with PC-Pine 4.63, but all it did was displaying a lot of "zero length" error messages except for one e-mail message; as to that message, sender and subject were displayed correctly in the index screen but when I tried to read it I got a "Folder closed due to access error" warning.
Examining the problem more deeply, I found out the message which was displayed in part correctly was pretty large: It contained a little bit of text and a large audio attachment in MP3 format, altogether 5.0 MB, according to Pine's index screen.
What I would like to know is if Pine in general has problems with large messages like the one described above. Or are the difficulties on the side of the IMAP server my provider is running? (When I telnetted to my provider's IMAP server I got the following initial response "* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN] server.provider.de
IMAP4rev1 2003.338 at Fri, 10 Feb 2006 23:58:11 +0100 (CET)".)
