Subject: POP3 & IMAP - PC Pine 3.95 - Can ANYONE Help???

RE: PC Pine Version 3.95 Beta July 15, 1996, running under WINDOWS 3.1,
on an Intel 486DX33 with 8MB Ram.

I have almost completed the installation process, but am not sure if I
am on the right track: 

I am converting from Eudora Light and my Eudora settings are:
        POP Account: [email-masked]       
        SMTP: mail.yesic.com
        Return Address: [email-masked]

I have used the following Settings in PINE:
        Userid: jcham   
        Host/Domain: mail.yesic.com
        SMTP Server: mail.yesic.com
        INBOX: {mail.yesic.com}INBOX 
                        
I get the following ERROR message when I open up PINE (I am connected to
the Internet when I do this - my Internet Provider has provided me with
Trumpet Winsock  2.0 Revision B):
        "Can't connect to mail.yesic.com,143 Refused 10061"
(I should also mention that I am not asked for my Mail Password (and I
don't believe I have set a mail password in Pine yet) when this error
occurs. When I use Eudora, I AM prompted for my Mail password before I
can do any any mail functions.)

I took another shot at it & changed my INBOX setting
to:                 	{mail.yesic.com/pop3}INBOX
as I understand it will use POP instead of IMAP if you specify this.
The result is this error message: "invalid remote specification".

Any idea where I might have gone wrong?

Thank you.

James

Alas, PC-Pine does not yet support POP.  Perhaps you can persuade
yesic.com to run an imapd as well as a pop3d?

The above looks ok, but you need to ask your service provider if they are
running the IMAP daemon service.  Your error msg looks like they are not.
Without them running IMAPd you will not be able to use PC-Pine.  Also you
should double check the host addresses for SMTP, etc with your provider.

>to:                 	{mail.yesic.com/pop3}INBOX

PC-Pine does not support the POP3 option.  Only Unix Pine does.  PC-Pine
may support it in a future version but not yet and not soon.  If your
service provider does not support IMAPd then it probably supports only
POP3 and you will have to get/use another mailer pgm.
