Are you using Gentoo stable? There is no reason for ncurses to be hardmasked at this point. Looks like Archlinux is already on the 3rd iteration of ncurses 6.5:

Packages (1) ncurses-6.5-3

 BP> so lets solve fmail without break gentoo :)

It's hard to believe FMail (FConfig, specifically) needs ncurses 6.5, since Wilfred was compiling it long before that was out.

You could always just unmask ncurses 6.5. :)
