Subject: IMAP.mailstrom.pine questions

Hi,
Because I vary locations to check my e-mail quite frequently, I usually
use pine to read my e-mail through IMAP protocol.  It is a pretty neat
software.  One of the nice features is it can automatically save the
outgoing mails in the IMAP mail server.  I am thinking about using
mailstrom to read my e-mail if I use a Mac to access my mail server. 
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any feature in the mailstrom
which allows me to save the outgoing mails in my IMAP mail server.  Is it
possible to do this?  I know it can be saved as a local file, but I prefer
to save the outgoing mails generated by mailstrom along with the previous
outgoing mails in the mail server.  It will be more organized this way. 
If this feature is not available in mailstrom, is there any IMAP-based Mac
mailreader software available (shareware or commercial) for doing this? 
Thanks in advance.

 Is there or will there be a pine for macintosh? The other versions work 
really well, you're right, so why not a mac version?!? Inquring minds
want to know.

I don't think so.  The problem is that pine is inherently a command-line,
text-only terminal program, and wouldn't really work directly ported to
the Mac.

Of course, there is a Mac IMAP client, as the original poster mentioned:
Mailstrom.  Mailstrom is available from sumex-aim.stanford.edu; NOT in the
Info-Mac archives, but in /imap/clients.  Of course, Sumex is nearly
impossible to get into these days...:(

Mailstrom is similar to Pine in some ways, but not in all.

Anyone have an inkling as to when Mailstrom will support MIME?
Last time I checked, it didn't.

Mailstrom V2, with MIME support and many other niceties, is still in
private alpha testing.  It's going slowly because the author and the other
people working on it all have full-time jobs at the moment which have
nothing to do with Mailstrom. :(  But they're trying to have it at least
in beta testing by sometime this fall.

as has been mentioned, the pine character based user agent is
inappropriate for mac systems, so even if anyone did a port it
would be pretty vile. :-)

on the mac side, mailstrom is available, with a mime version in
beta test right now.. not sure what the dates are for that to
progress, i gather adam is mainly doing other things now, so its
coming slower than otherwise.  but from what i've seen, a
very good piece of work so far.

on the commercial side, isa has a version of ecsmail for the mac
in late beta-test, an imap client supporting a full graphical
interface.  i won't say anymore since i'm one of the authors
of that system.

In addition to Mailstrom and ECSmail...

Another possibility is Mail Drop by Carl Bell at Baylor University.
See /pub/bell/Mail_Drop on ackmo.baylor.edu

The development version dated 8/4/94 appears to have the beginnings of MIME 
support.
