Subject: VMSmail folders -> pine folders

If there are any VMS users out there who need to bulk convert VMSmail
folders to pine folders, send me e-mail and I'll send you a copy of the
command files.  This version runs slow since it's in DCL but when I get
time I might re-write it in C if there's enough demand for it.

Now this sounds very interesting to me!!!  Are you running Pine on a VMS
system?  Or are you running a IMAP server on VMS (i.e., PMDF's) on a VMS
system?

If the latter, IYHO how well does the client work with the PMDF IMAP server? 
The only apparent 'thorn' I've noted was the new additions to folders (notably
new incoming mail) does not appear unless you log off and relog into the
server. But, to be fair, it's not really Innosoft's fault (but rather it's a
"feature" of VMS callable mail).  Nonetheless, if this is what you are doing,
I'd be interested in hearing how much of a problem this really is (perhaps the
users really don't consider this to be a problem??)

Our users would probably would like have an alternative to VMS Mail and Pine
would rank high in my book since I used to use it a while back when I was
working on Unix systems (but we only have VMS at my present location).
