Topic: Pine & IMAP

[Corey Puffalt]

Hi all,

I'm having difficulties getting Pine configured to use IMAP with e-smith.  I've tried adding a folder collection with settings like this:

Nickname: imap
Server: mail.e-smith.MyDomainName.xxx
Path: ~/
View:

The 'Path' setting is where things get fuzzy...I'm not sure what to put there.  I've tried a number of settings including the complete path to my user directory with no results.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
Corey

We use an e-smith server in-house (of course!), and I just have:

inbox-path={mail}inbox

Ok, that works insofar as I can now see my inbox...but how do I set up pine to see the rest of my IMAP folders?

Thanks.

Extrapolating from the standard .pinerc comments:

  # List of directories where saved-message folders may be. First one is
  # the default for Saves. Example: Main {host1}mail/[], Desktop mail\[]
  # Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-hostname}optnl-directory-path[]
  folder-collections=

I'd say that you should try:

  folder-collections=Main {mail}[]
