Subject: PC-Pine creates wrong mail-folders!?

From: [email-masked] (Herbert Gasiorowski)

When saving mail to a new folder, a file is created in ~/Mail but afterwards
pine complains about wrong file format (or something like that).

Looking into the mail directory shows a new file *without*any* permissions!
After changing the permission to rw for user, mail can be saved by PC-Pine
without Problems.

Does anyone knows the problem and a solution ?
Is it a Pine or a imap fault or ... ?

Thanks in advance

Maybe Pine looks at the value of umask...? You could try (from UNIX): 

umask 0077

Which will set the permissions of any new file created to rw for user.

There is a known bug in c-client last spring that caused this, that may 
be in your imapd.  Try updating from the version in Pine 3.91.
