Subject: incoming folders

I am trying to enable incoming folders so that all the mail I receive from
various machines will come to just one machine (I also don't have any mail
filtering programs, and use the different accounts for primitive
filtering).  

I "enabled incoming folders" with the config program, and then tried to
"Add" a new incoming folder.  When it asked me what server my other inbox
is at, I typed in ca0286, or on another attempt, the more complete address
of ca0286.caso.ca.blm.gov.  Then, although I wasn't sure exactly what it
was looking for when it wanted the name of the folder my incoming mail
would be at, I typed in /var/spool/mail/ldelucia (the default file for
sendmail).  However, Pine came back with "Can't connect to server
ca0286.caso.ca.blm.gov,143:"  Connection refused, and Can't access server. 

Did I do something wrong, or is Pine appending the ,143 onto my address, 
therefore making it invalid?

On another more trivial note, is there any way to enable the keyboard 
keys of home, end, backspace, etc.?

TIA :-)

You'll need imapd on those machines. I think what you should do is to
forward all mail to this machine and get procmail. Easy to setup, no need
to be root to install.
