Subject: configuring pc-pine windsock

I had almost finished my previous mesage when the telnet session crashed,
so this is a bit shorter. 

I have gotten my newsreader to read and post news, but have tried many
variations on *{server_name/smtp}INBOX or *{server_name/smtp}[] 
or  {server_name}INBOX for 
the inbox name with no success. What I am using as server_name is what the
school supplied copy of Eudora has, but still no success. 

The usual error message is something like closed imap connection broken
(server response)

I get connection refused when I try the name of my usual unix machine,
which uses pine with sendmail and /var/spool/mail on an nfs mount.

I don't have any way of entering in my password, and I would hope that the
server would be able to authenticate who I am before releasing my mailbox
to someone.

Any ideas? please? 

If you do mail and post, I won't mind. Probably be easier for me to get
mail, since I would be better off not reading news during finals (hahahaha)

Thanks,
Alice Gifford
