Folks,
What's the quick and easiest way to have Pine default to a different
inbox location?  Say ~/.mail ?

Thanks,
Ken

From the main menu, try S)etup and then C)onfiguration.  Look for a
setting near the top labeled inbox-path and set it to the path you want
for your inbox.

Folks,
Sorry I wasn't clear.  I meant when you're compiling it for general use on
a system.

Try looking in Pine's Setup Configuration screen (S then C from its Main
Menu).  There you will see a very interesting looking configuration
variable called "inbox-path".  It even has contaxt-sensitive help to tell
you what it is for!  :-)

Cheers,

No need to recompile; just set it in the global pine.conf file.
