Subject: accessing unix addressbook from pc-pine

I've been using Pine on a Sun machine for sometime and just discovered
PC-Pine and imap so I can get to stuff easily from home.

My question is how can I setup pcpine to access the .addressbook file on
my Sun home directory?  I tried setting the global addressbook entry to
"{myserver}.addressbook" but that shows an entry list and none of the
address nicknames work in Compose.  All the address are available when
running pine on the sun machine. 

I am able to access the Sun folders with {myserver}Mail/[] and obviously
my inbox works.  

Thanks for your suggestions.

Paul,
Remote access to addressbooks is not yet available, unless you have
shared-filesystem access to the server.

The intent is to support CMU's "Application Configuration Access Protocol"
(ACAP) for this as soon as an implementation is available.

I thought CMU had devised a protocol called IMSP for this kind of thing.
Does ACAP supercede IMSP?

Yes, ACAP is the successor to IMSP.
