Subject: When can we expect pine for the Mac?

I've seen PC Pine.  Any indication as to when Mac Pine will be
available?  Is it in alpha, beta testing? Or is it still vapor ware?

TIA,

ps. if you need a tester, give me a holler!

We do not have any plans for a Mac port at this time.  One of the Pine Team
members has done some preliminary investigation in his spare time, but he has
set it aside for now...

Ian -

     Mac Pine is still vapor.  I hope that I may be able to return to working
on it later this year.  I'm currently involved with other tasks.

     As a temporary expedient, I recommend Mail Drop from Baylor as a very
nice (if somewhat minimal) IMAP client for the Mac.  To date, it's the only
Mac program I've tested which is reliable (I've never had it crash) and uses
IMAP in the remote access model.

>IMAP in the remote access model.

I would recommend Mailstrom. The only problem that I have had is having
PPP dial the modem when I start it up. This locks the computer up. I
have to to go into the PPP control panel to make the connection first.
Otherwise, I have had no crashes. (Of course, I've only used it
minimally from home, too, so take it for what it's worth.) I've heard that
version 2.0 is supposed to be right around the corner so enclosures will be
possible.

Having MacPine would be really nice though. I really dislike not having
access to my remote folders unless I telnet to one of my machines and use
Pine.
