Hi all. I have a amall problem that my netprovider cannot answer..

I am using Pine 3.91 wich was in the Linux 2.3 distribution that I've
installed.

Now. I have set a remote INBOX like this:

	{my.mail.host.address}INBOX

and that seems to work fine with the connection to the host. But as
soon as I open Pine and connects to the remote INBOX, there is a
process starting, probably started by Pine:

	rsh my.mail.host.address exec /etc/rimapd

That is that it tries to start a imap deamon on the host(not sure if I
got the path right there)??? Then the system stops until I, as root,
kill the rsc process.

When I killed the process and return to PineI see a line that says I
must write my account-name for the mail host and the password.

Now.. The questions:

	1: Why is Pine trying to start a remote imap deamon? 
	    Can I prevent that and how do I fix that problem?
	
	2: Is there any way to tell Pine my account name and password for the
	    host so Pine will put that in automagically when I connect to the 
	    mailhost.

Please, help me.. Any suggestions are welcome.

PS. Please respond via email, because I have had some problems with
news to.

Thanks in advance.  Ake Jonsson.
