Subject: Problem Sending Mail

I am using PINE 3.91 on my laptop. When at work the laptop is on a
LAN. While all other LAN services seem to work OK, I am not able to
send mail. I can receive mail just fine, but when I try to send (or
forward, or reply...) I get the following error message:

"Can't send message without an open remote folder."

Does anyone have any ideas on this? I can't figure it out.

Steve

Steve,
I'm guessing that you are actually using PC-Pine...

That message occurs if Pine doesn't think you have an authenticated IMAP
connection open.  The requirement to have an open IMAP folder before
sending is to allow PC-Pine to put a traceable x-sender line into outgoing
messages to mitigate the threat of forged messages.
