I'm curious, once you set up your folder-collections, are you able to view
the folders in PC-Pine properly?

I've found, although I'm using Solaris imap, that the folders drop the two
first characters in the pcpine (winsock or pcnfs) display.

I was told that it was a bug that had been corrected in a recent release of
imap and today I've installed the March BETA release but it hasn't made a 
difference.

David.

My folders retain their integrity .... names and all.

I *have* found trouble in addressbooks, however.  Not every address in 
the list seems to function properly.  They all appear to be OK 
(visually), but when you use the nickname, it does not always pull up the 
address.  Even if you use the ^T keystroke and pull it right off the 
list!  Still, no joy.

Not all addresses are problems, but certain ones are (consistently).

The address book is a _copy_ of the system wide globaladdress book.

Hello.  This isn't a bug in Pine; it's a bug in your Solaris C compiler
environment.  Solaris gleefully permits you to compile programs as SVR4 
software, but link them with the BSD libraries -- all with absolutely no 
indication to you that this has happened!

We've tried zillions of things, but what works for some people doesn't 
work for others.

Inserting -lc in the LDFLAGS of the pine/imap/imapd Makefile is one 
workaround that seems to work for many people.

Or, you can just use the pre-built binary from ftp.cac.washington.edu, 
file pine/unix-bin/imapd-bin.solaris .  We test the Solaris binaries to 
be sure they built right before putting them on the FTP server (or at 
least, we do now that we're aware of the problem).
