Hi,

I have just installed pine 3.95 under AIX 4.1.4. Works fine. In some
text I have read on the possibility of using Pine to read mail on
another accounts than that I have started the program. How can I get the
mailbox on onother accounts?

One quick way to access the INBOX of different accounts you have (whether
they are on the same host or on different hosts) is to "GOTO folder" and
then specify

	{hostname}

where hostname is the name of the host the account is on; so, for example:

	{info.wcss.wroc.pl}

Each time (in my experience ;) you will be prompted for your username and
password, so you can access different accounts even on the same host. 

You can also set up multiple incoming folders, which is handy if you do
this repeatedly; see the help screen for enable-incoming-folders in Pine's
SETUP CONFIGURATION screen.

One thing to remember when accessing mailboxes on other accounts/hosts,
however, is that -- if you reply to or forward messages stored there --
that email will still be "From" the account you used to start Pine.

Syntax for accessing IMAP Folders and Collections using Pine, in addition
to that for accessing INBOXes mentioned below, can be found in the Pine
Information Center at: 

http://www.washington.edu/pine/user-guide/info/imap.syntax.html

	or at the very end of

ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/docs/user-guide.txt

Hmmm... looks like we need to update that section to include the 
(semi-recent) addition of /user= syntax, e.g. 

  {info.wcss.wroc.pl/user=joe}inbox

Particularly handy when defining an incoming-folder list.

This assumes that the host is running IMAP service and that
pre-authenticated (rsh) connections are not used.  If you have
configured /etc/rimapd as a link to the imapd executable and have
.rhosts configured in each account, you can open the INBOX for user
foo with

	{hostname/user=foo}INBOX

An IMAP server is included in the Pine source distribution, or you can
get source from

	ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z

If everything is on one system, you may get some performance benefit
using

	{localhost/user=foo}INBOX

Good luck!
