Re: Maildir and Pine-4.10
I was a little curious about this, so I went and downloaded the very same file (to make sure I didn't tar the wrong source tree or something) and built the thing agoin on my Solaris 2.5 (sparc) box and it works fine. It also works fine on the box I'm typing this from (FreeBSD 3.2). I use $HOME/Maildir (without the trailing slash) as my pine inbox-path, I have ./Maildir/ in my .qmail file, and my env is: [richard2 james james]$ echo $MAIL /usr/home/james/Maildir Kai speculated that it might have something to do with the Linux shadow support but I have no idea what the deal is with the Solaris box, except that it's Intel, and I don't see any mention of Intel Solaris in the pine-ports file (not that it should have to...). Anybody else have any success with it? Platform?

I checked in with James Smallacombe about it, too, but he didn't have any ideas aside from making sure the .qmail file has a trailing slash (which it does). In case it will help, here are a few more details on my system (don't laugh; it serves stuff): Intel Pentium 75 MHz 32 MB RAM 1 IDE HD running RHL 5.1 (2.0.34 kernel) shadow passwords qmail 1.03 daemontools 0.53 Let me know if any other details would help. - Kai MacTane System Administrator Online Partners.com, Inc. - >From the Jargon File: (v4.0.0, 25 Jul 1996) examining the entrails /n./ The process of grovelling through a core dump or hex image in an attempt to discover the bug that brought a program or system down.

Maildir and Pine-4.10
Greetings, I read every thread on getting pine-4.10 to work with qmail-1.03 and I still can't get pine to read the Maildir format. I downloaded the patched pine src from http://3.am/pine4.10.maildir.tar.gz and built it on an Intel Solaris 2.6 box. What I have tried to get pine to read Maildir: // edits to the ~/.pinerc file inbox-path=~/Maildir(didn't work) inbox-path=$HOME/Maildir(didn't work) inbox-path=~/Maildir/ (didn't work) inbox-path="inbox" (didn't work) // shell enviro mods MAIL=~/Maildir export MAIL (didn't work) It just always reads 0 messages in inbox :( // I do have mail waiting: [joshp@162-131-134 joshp]$ telnet mail.ioactive.com 110 Trying 209.162.131.139... Connected to mail.ioactive.com. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> USER userTest +OK PASS * +OK STAT +OK 1780 594446 Any ideas? I'm at my wits end here. Thanks for your time/help.
