Subject: Is there a way to save my pop3 passwords?

I have pine set up with 3 folders pointing to 3 pop accounts on 3 
different remote hosts (a very undocumented feature).  What I'm wondering 
is, is there a way, without hacking the code, to save the usernames and 
passwords so I don't have to retype them when I want to open a folder?

Thanks

Jon,
Beginning with 3.92, you can add /user= after the hostname in the folder
specification.

There is no provision in Unix Pine to save passwords across sessions, but
it will remember them during the session.  If the remote host supports
IMAP preauthentication (via an /etc/rimapd link) then the passwd prompt
can be avoided.

Sorry, I can't help with your problem, but would appreciate if you could 
tell us how you did it!

Thanks.
