Re[2]: [newbie] Pine Config
Hi Denis,
On Sunday, August 06, 2000, 10:43 AM, you hammered out in part about
"[newbie] Pine Config":
DH You can use IMAP server with pine:
DH inbox-path={host}/INBOX
DH (POP is not supported)
POP is supported (one account at a time), and I have used it for a
long time before going to Mutt. I am not in Mandrake now, but please
see my email from a few days ago for the coding. I got this off of
their website. It worked well.

Re: [newbie] Pine Config
This is totally wrong. You can use it with POP, but just on one POP
server. I have used it many times before I switched to MUTT which
handles threading far better than Pine. Taken from the info of Pine,
do this.
In your setup config for inbox-path type:
{nameofpop.com/pop3user=username}INBOX
That's it. When you start Pine, it will ask you for your password and
start d/l your mail.
No it doesn't :-)
Sorry but this is something I wanted as I use pine all the time and I
tried this line but all that came back was:
Could not open.
only when I changed back to my original configuration did it all work well
again.

[newbie] Pine Config -- Easy Solution!
Dear friends:
This incredibly easy and fully effective way to configure Pine comes to
you (and me) courtesy of Ramon Gandia, one of the great gurus on our
list:
1) Install Pine. It should, of course, come already installed on your
Linux machine.
2) Type "pine" on the command line (without the quotes). This will
launch Pine. Now exit Pine (click on E, then Quit). This creates a
.pinerc file in your home directory.
3) Now, using any text editor, open it to /home/user/.pinerc (note the
period, which indicates a hidden file.
4) Look for a section called ESSENTIAL PARAMETERS. You need to fill out
ONLY the following for Pine to operate fully as a mail and news client
from remote networks. I use it to get my mail from Bellsouth. I use it
as a backup for Netscape, especially when I am in the console stuck and
need to get in touch with someone.
Type in the following information. I am providing my own info as a
sample.
1)
#Over-rides your full name from Unix password file.
#Required for PC-Pine.
personal-name=Benjamin Sher
2)
#Sets domain part of From...
Leave this section blank!
3)
#List of SMTP servers for sending mail. If blank: Unix Pine.
#uses sendmail.
smtp-server=mail.msy.bellsouth.net
4)
NNTP server for posting news. Also sets news-collections
#for news reading.
nntp-server=news.msy.bellsouth.net
5)
This is the most critical one:
#path of (local or remote) INBOX...
#Normal Unix default...
#INBOX (usually /usr/spool/...
inbox-path={msy.bellsouth.net/pop3}INBOX
Please note that in this last stage you need only fill out the last
line, that is, the "inbox-path" line, just as you see above. And you
must use the curlicue brackets (or whatever they are called) instead of
the ordinary brackets (Shift + brackets). And NO spaces anywhere. One
uninterrupted lined.
Now save the file. Open Pine and you should get a request for your IP
user name and password.
We both owe Ramon Gandia our appreciation for finding such a simple
solution. It works perfectly and should allow you to receive and send
mail and news flawlessly.
All my best.

You can use IMAP server with pine:
inbox-path={host}/INBOX
(POP is not supported)
For news, something like:
news-collections=*{newshost/nntp}[],
But since pine has a nice configuration editor (press: M S C to get
there), with nice contex-sensitive help, it should not be too difficult to
figure out this kind of details...
