Subject: PC-NFS and PC Pine

I have recently installed PINE for sun PC-NFS on a DOS 6.22 GATEWAY PC.
PC pine version 3.91 using PC-NFS 4.0.  Using imap-3.6.BETA congifured for
Sun.

Setup
- I have setup pop pop3 and imap on a host system called "ichips" running
  SUNOS 4.1.3.
- I have no problem with unix pine or unix mtest to access {ichips}inbox.
  Pine comes back with a user id and requests the password properly.
- PC-NFS is configured properly for the entire network and has access to all
  the systems using the NIS host database for the PC in question.

Problem
- PC Pine returns an error message [Host not found:  ichips]
  followed by [No folder opend].  The PC can ftp and telnet to ichips 
  without any problems but does not recognize ichips as the host.
  I tried the inbox parameter with {ichips}inbox and {ip-address}inbox with
  no success.

Might anybody have a possible solution to this problem?

I had this problem a while ago, and asked in this very forum if anyone
had a solution. I heard from a lot of people that had the same problem,
but not from anyone who either had a solution or had it working at all.
Eventually we gave up trying, and switched to PC-NFSpro and pcpine_w;
this combination works fine.

We had this exact problem, although we are using PC-NFS v5.0w. The
solution appeared to be freeing up sufficient main memory: 560k.
