Nobody want to install something from source anymore.

 
That’s why most distros offer prebuilt binaries.

I still cannot get pan working under MX Linux.
It installs from the repo fine, brings down messages fine
but if I try to reply to a message it tosses an error something
like message not found.
 
I'm probably messing up the specifics as it's been a while but still
it does not work.

TBH I haven't run Mint's packaged pan in a long time.  I build from the
git repo.

What version are you using?  Also double-check you're using a recent
gmime, there was a fix for the Newsgroups: line a few months ago.

You can run pan in debug mode:

$ pan --debug

or even

$ pan --debug --debug --verbose

You might want to run script(1) first, so you can capture all the output.
