Subject: IMAP and 3.95 with multiple accounts?

I'm looking at the IMAP server and pine, and was wondering this:  I have 
a unix client of pine, I'd like to contact a remote IMAP server and have
one folder as one user, the other folder as another.  My goal is to have 
one client that is able to read other mail, like manager mail, but just as
another folder.

I can get by this, by not using the .rhosts files for either username, but 
would rather it just advertise itself as the other user, so that no passowrds
would need to be involved.

Anyone know if this is possible?  The only info I see only lets you 
give a remote host and folder name, not a user name, per folder...

Thanks,
Mike

If you add each folder to the incoming folder collections, you can do
something like this:

incoming-folders="INBOX #1" {mail.imapserv.org/user=user1}INBOX,
	"INBOX #2" {mail.imapserv.org/user=user2}INBOX,
	"INBOX #3" {mail.imapserv.org/user=user3}INBOX

I've done it before over here under Linux with Pine and the IMAP server
running on the same machine, and it worked fine...

> would need to be involved.

With the above, you're still the same person that you started Pine with, and
it will prompt you for a password for each user's inbox.  To read and write
mail for that username, your best bet is to login as that person.  Even if
you were to use fetchmail (formerly popclient) to 'fetch' mail for multiple
accounts, you would need multiple .pinerc's for the correct return address.

That would be a nice feature of a future version of Pine, to be able to
change From: tags from within Pine.  I used to use that _all the time_ with
timEd, way back when, when I was running a FidoNet BBS.

So, the condensed answer to your question is: not that I know of.
