Subject: problem using PINE for window

I am using PCPINE 391 under window 3.1 running on Novell network. My mail is
in a rs6000 machine which have PINE for unix installed.

When I try to set up the pcpine to get my mail from this server, a alway got
a message saying the connection refused.

I just wonder, since I don't have to type in my unix account password in the
pcpine, it is normal to be refused by the host!!

How should I set up my pcpine to read the mail send to my unix host? 

Thanks very much for your help.

You need to set up your PC Pine client to read mail via IMAP.  Define your
INBOX as {mymailserverhostname}INBOX and it'll prompt you for a login name
and password when you connect.  If your AIX machine isn't running imapd,
then it needs to (your mail server must support POP3 for this to work).

I don't use PC Pine, so someone else may be more qualified to help you with
PC specifics.
