Subject: Seperate INCOMING mail folders in PINE?

Alright, here's the thing, I'm on a couple of mailing lists (one of which
gets over 100 messages/day) so I have to seperate my mail into different
folders using procmail.  I've got that part to work.

Now, in Pine you're supposed to be able to have different incoming folders
(and you can use <TAB> to go between them) but I can't figure out how to use
this option.

Can anyone help?

    Are you telling procmail to save messages into mailbox folders in
your $HOME/mail/ directory?

>(and you can use <TAB> to go between them) but I can't figure out how to use

   Hit 'L' from the main menu or the mailbox index to bring up a list
of your mailbox folders.  Then use the arrow keys to select one and
press Return to open it.  It looks in your $HOME/mail/ directory, so
make sure procmail is saving stuff in there.

>your $HOME/mail/ directory?

Yes.  They're being saved to my $HOME/mail/ directory.  

One other thing, since I didn't figure out a way of procmail leaving stuff
in the normal io.org INBOX I'm saving the stuff that I don't seperate to the
mailing list folder(s) to $HOME/mail/current so in actual fact that's my
incoming folder.  Is there any danger of me losing any e-mail with this
method?  And if so, is there anyway to tell procmail to keep other messages
in the remote IO.ORG?

>make sure procmail is saving stuff in there.

Yeah, that's the process I'm using now, but I *KNOW* (because I did have it
working ONCE) that there's a way to make Pine think there's more than one
incoming mail folder so you can just hit <TAB> and go to the next one w/ new
messages.  Basically, it just makes the process a bit easier because using
the method you mentioned, I have to hit 'L' then go down and select 'see
expanded list of folders' (or something like that) and then select my
folders.

Nothing in the man pages about it though...  Oh well.

Nuno,
Here's my own incoming-folders entry from my pinerc; perhaps it will help.
Note that this is *not* the "folder-collections" variable...

incoming-folders=PINE-INFO {phantom.cac.washington.edu}pine-info,
        PINE-BUGS {phantom.cac.washington.edu}pine,
        CompMailMisc *{news.u.washington.edu/nntp}comp.mail.misc,
        IMAP {phantom.cac.washington.edu}imap,
        NETOPS {phantom.cac.washington.edu}netops,
        IETF {phantom.cac.washington.edu}ietf,
        HOMER {mailer3.u.washington.edu:143}inbox

    Not that I can see.  Procmail is fed messages through the .forward
file, so there is no file access contention on your mailbox.

    I don't know.  You could re-mail stuff back to yourself (and that
would go to your mailbox on io.org), but procmail will need some way
of preventing mail loops.

>incoming mail folder so you can just hit <TAB> and go to the next one w/ new

    Really?  That would be neat.  I switch between my INBOX and my
Received folders all the time.  It would be great to switch between
the two with a single keystroke.  Tab by default is bound to "Show
next unread" message though.  Perhaps there is something in the Pine
config options that I missed.

    I'll put the Pine 3.91 tech notes in /usr/local/lib/pine if you
want to take a look through there.
