Hi,

I'm curious if I have SAMBA sharing out mail folders from a Unix box,
would PC-Pine be able to read that inbox directly without having to deal
with IMAP or POP?

Cory

please email responses.

The brief answer is "yes, but it's a bad idea."

It's slower, less functional, and less reliable (no locking) than IMAP.
