Subject: IMAP Authorization...

I've been using Pine for a while now, and have been rather impressed
overall...  I've recently upgraded to 3.93, and have had reason to begin
using IMAP to access mail from home, as well as from various places around
campus...

I've had one problem, however.  When I want to access/use an IMAP mailbox,
Pine asks me for my userid and password *every* time I go to check that
mailbox, read the index of the box, read a message from the box, write a
message to the box, et cetera.  In short, any *single* IMAP request needs
another login.  When sending mail with an FCC, this can get pretty hairy
(I think I had two or three logins *per message*!).

Is there an option I'm missing to have Pine remember your IMAP password
throughout the session?  I'm getting a little frustrated here...

Thanks,
Jason

That does seem pretty excessive! :)

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing something related to password caching on
the list of things fixed for 3.94...  (Coming soon)
