Subject: Accessing ~/Mail with MH

Hello,

having compiled PINE 3.91 successfully on OSF/1 3.2 i have some
problems while accessing MH folders in $HOME/Mail.

Well, existing MH folders can be accessd with folder collection #mh/[].
But i'm not able to add a new folder. PINE says:
   [Can't create mailbox #mh/pinetest3: No such file or directory]
I'm afraid PINE constantly tries to work with $HOME/mail, and
#mh/Mail/[] doesn't work.

On the other hand if i set the folder to:

{my-server.dom.uni-jena.de/imap}#mh/[]

everything works o.k.

Well, i think in case of a remote folder IMAPd looks at my
$HOME/.mh_profile where $HOME/Mail (instead of $HOME/mail) is defined.

Can anyone give me a hint for specifying MH Dir/Folder locally.

Thanks in advance
Uwe
