Subject: Mail folders stored elsewhere

Greetings!

Is it possible to set Pine up so that it reads from and saves to folders
which are stored in a different area to where Pine operates from?

The reason I ask is because we have what are known as 'home' directories
where Pine operates from, but the sytem manglers are limiting space in
each user's home directory to 1MB. (The 'hidden' system files take up at least
half that!!! grrrr)
Anyway, Pine looks in our home directories for the inbox and for the mail
folders we create to store correspondence, which, obviously takes up room.
So I was wondering if there was a way of setting Pine up so that it would
store the mail directory (which holds the folders and inbox) elsewhere
and read from this remote area to avoid taking up 'precious' space in our
home directories.

Any suggestions please email directly to me, as I don't read the newsgroups
often, and I like filling up my home directory with mail to annoy the
system manglers. ;)

Thanks

Darren
