Subject: Folder-Collections

Hi All,

	On Freenets, why do most of the Freenets point PINE
Folder-Collections in the configuration copy of PINE to Mail rather than
the User's Work directory where the user can upload and download to?

	Each month, PINE recommends that the user rename their SENT-MAIL
folder to another name. When we as the user, follows that advice to avoid
the folder becoming too big, we the user, don't have access to download
from the sub-directory of Mail as we do to Work.

	And I don't know why System Adminstrators can't point PINE's
Folder-Collections to work instead. Buffalo Freenet works like this, except
they deleted all OUT-OF-STATE Residents Accounts on January 1, 1996. 

	Does any Freenets that use PINE, point Folder-Collections to the
User's Work Directory, where the user can upload and download too?

Hi Morton,

I think the problem is with your service and has nothing to do with Pine.
After Pine askes me to move the months SENT-MAIL folder to ~/mail, I can
download/upload them from the mail direcctory.

If you don't want Pine to put it in the mail directory, change the
configuration of pine. Look for the line...

folder-collections       = <No Value Set: using mail/[]>

..and change it to whatever directory you want.

If on the other hand that line looks something like this...

folder-collections      = <Value is Fixed: using mail/[]>

...then you will have to contact your service to have it changed.
