Hi, Here's the situation. I use KMail to read my mail from a POP3 account. I want to configure Pine to access the same account so I can read my mail remotely via ssh. Never used Pine before. Here's what I did:
- installed pine-4.53-1plf.rpm. - created a symlink ~/mail (where Pine looks for mailboxes) to ~/Mail (where KMail looks for mailboxes) The problem: When using KMail's default maildir format I can't read my inbox folder because no matter how I configure inbox-path (~/mail/ or ~/mail/inbox or ~/mail/inbox/cur) I get an error saying that it's an invalid folder. I can view all other folders. I can send a message via smtp properly but I get crash when Pine tries to copy the message to the sent-messages folder saying "Received abort signal(sig=11)". I then tried converting my mail folders to mbox format. Pine works perfectly this way. I can read my inbox and sent e-mails get copied correctly to the sent-messages folder. The only problem occurs when I try to open KMail after Pine has altered some mbox files. KMail uses .index* files in addition to the actual mbox files. After using Pine, these .index* files are older than a corresponding mbox file since Pine doesn't update them. So, when I open KMail I get an error that the indexes have to be regenerated. Any modifications that were made to mbox files by Pine don't show up on KMail. One solution is to delete all .index* files after using Pine and before opening KMail. Is this safe? What are these index* files used for? Is there a better solution? Any help appreciated. TIA, -- Guilherme Cirne [EMAIL PROTECTED]
