Subject: Accessing new mail from MH folders?

Hello, does anybody know how I can access new mails from
the mail spool directory via the "#mh" switch as a remote
MH folder.
If I try "{imap-server}#mh/INBOX" only the existing mails (that
were read previously) are seen, but no new mails.

On the other side, if I set the incoming-folder to
"{imap-server}INBOX" new mails are seen but an error is
returned while saving read mails into a remote MH folder.
A directory is created, but no mail file can be written.

Hello.  Please use the name #mhinbox instead of #mh/inbox

#mhinbox is a special name which will copy new mail from the 
/usr/spool/mail file into your MH folder.

You should be using #MHINBOX rather than #MH/INBOX.  It is a special
keyword that tells Pine to do the "inc" function...
