Sorry to repeat the question but this is something that is important
to us. My apologies if the answer has gone astray.

Thank you.

Not sure what you mean by one or the other, but on our system, the way I 
found I had to get multiple inbound folders available was by setting 
.pinerc to 444 before firing up pine....otherwise it would keep losing 
the comma after the first inbox :(

But to get the remote inboxes was simply:

# inbox-path specifies the name/path/location of your INBOX.  Example:
# inbox-path={carson.u.washington.edu}inbox (INBOX on a remote computer)
# Normal Unix default is the local INBOX (usually /user/spool/mail/$USER)
inbox-path=

# incoming-folders are those other than INBOX that receive new messages.
# Folder syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-hostname}folder-path
# Use only if you filter incoming email into multiple files or receive
# email on several different machines.
# Example:
# incoming-folders=Consulting       {carson.u.washington.edu}filter/to-help,
#                  Widget-Project   {carson.u.washington.edu}filter/to-widget,
#                  Old-Student-Acct {imap.berkeley.edu}inbox
incoming-folders=ASL4		{asl4}INBOX,
	ASL3		{asl3}INBOX

Where asl3 and asl4 are hosts on our network.  Good luck.  Hope that 
helps.  It certainly is a great feature.

Alan,

Yes, you can have both local and remote folders.  Can you send a copy of 
a .pinerc file you have configured for both, but is failing?

Sorry about the delay!
