Hi
I'm trying to use Pine, in desparation, and have two problems:
i) when I use fetchmail, it runs incredibly (nay, impossibly) slowly! If
I use kmail or netscape, the mails are downloaded at the normal speed. What
could be wrong with my setup / .fetchmailrc file?
ii) I can't get procmail to process my mail inot different folders as it
comes in to /var/spool/mail/kester - I'm not sure about the settings of the
environment variables in the .procmailrc file. Any advice / examples out
there I could use?
k.
:Netscape has a built-in pop3 client and Pine does not. I use fetchmail
:as my pop3 client. Once you get your .fetchmailrc configured properly,
:you should be able to enter 'fetchmail -a' at the command line and
:watch your mail come down. To verify that your mail is down, type in
:'less /var/spool/mail/tina' (or whatever the name of your mailbox
:is), and directly read your mail without a mailreader.
:
:At this point, all you need to do is configure Pine. If you can't
:figure that out, we can take that up in a follow-up mail.
